A low-budget feature that thrives on chaotic characterization rather than flashy production values, Bunny is what you get if you take the dialogue from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.giantfreakinrobot.com\/ent\/cult-comedy-defined-generation.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Clerks<\/a> (1994) and the escalating mishaps from The Big Lebowski (1998), add a dead body to the equation, and rely on the most reliably insane people you know to get rid of it.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s not a single second in Bunny that isn\u2019t chaotic, but every character is so effortlessly unhinged you can\u2019t help but root for them. There isn\u2019t much to the story on paper, yet Bunny earns its keep through facial expressions, those \u201cdude, no\u201d moments, and the kind of friendship that can only exist in a run-down apartment building that\u2019s somehow always crawling with police officers at the worst possible time.<\/p>\n<p>The Business, And The Body<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Bunny-2025-1-900x506.png\" alt=\"Bunny 2025\" class=\"wp-image-730609\"  \/><\/p>\n<p>Bunny (Mo Stark), our titular hero, is the most nonchalant hustler you\u2019ll ever see committed to film, and his laid-back, carefree attitude makes him a modern-day version of The Dude. He illegally sublets his apartment as an Airbnb to make a quick buck and does everything he can to accommodate his guests. His most recent guest, Happy Chana (Genevieve Hudson-Price), is an Orthodox Jew about to meet her future husband who can\u2019t use electricity on Shabbat, for example.<\/p>\n<p>Occupying one of the neighboring units is Linda (Linda Rong Mei Chen), who\u2019s presumably living in the US illegally, prompting officers Nadov (Liz Caribel Sierra), Cellistino (Ajay Naidu), and Belle (Michael Abbott Jr.) to linger nearby. It doesn\u2019t help that Bunny regularly engages in criminal activity, seems more agitated than usual on this particular day, and the cops are clearly biding their time until they can catch him doing something illegal and slap a set of cuffs on him.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Bunny-2025-5-900x506.png\" alt=\"Bunny 2025\" class=\"wp-image-730606\"  \/><\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re also introduced to a slew of colorful characters, including Bobbie (Liza Colby) and her estranged father, Loren (Tony Drazan), who unexpectedly shows up, wracked with anxiety and promptly given a cocktail of drugs by Dino (Ben Jacobson), Bunny\u2019s best friend.<\/p>\n<p>As each character enters the frame, like Ciel (Kia Warren), who just wants to watch TV and smoke some pot, much to Happy Chana\u2019s chagrin, everybody keeps commenting on the other awful smell cutting through the building. When a dead body is found in one of the units, Bunny and the rest of the gang scramble to figure out how to get rid of it fast while drawing as little attention to themselves as possible. The problem is that the cops are always waiting outside. Fortunately, they\u2019re easily distracted by food recommendations from Bunny, Dino, and the rest of the crew, which buys them time on more than one occasion.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Everybody Is Reliably Sketchy<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Bunny-2025-16-900x506.png\" alt=\"Bunny 2025\" class=\"wp-image-730607\"  \/><\/p>\n<p>You know how every friend group has that one person who either knows a guy, has a hookup, or floors everybody with a story about the insane hijinks they got into the night before? Every single character in Bunny is that person. Everybody is reliably sketchy. They aren\u2019t bad people, but you never once question why they\u2019re living the way they are or how they process this situation in their own offbeat ways.<\/p>\n<p>Most importantly, the building in Bunny is a judgment-free zone. Everybody knows everybody else is kind of a screwup or at least someone who made a few severely misguided decisions in the past, forcing them to live under the radar and on their own terms. When the body is discovered, everyone becomes a team player and quickly cobbles together a plan with more holes than they realize, yet they still try their damndest to get it off the property undetected no matter how many obstacles stack up against them.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"507\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Bunny-2025-10-900x507.png\" alt=\"Bunny 2025\" class=\"wp-image-730608\"  \/><\/p>\n<p>If you grew up on dialogue-heavy indie films where one thing goes wrong after another, Bunny should be your next watch the next time you fire up <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.giantfreakinrobot.com\/topic\/netflix\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" title=\"Netflix\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"175410\">Netflix<\/a>. It\u2019s one of the most chaotic movies I\u2019ve ever seen in at least a decade. It\u2019s rare for me to say this, but it\u2019s also one of those movies so specific in its characterization, conflict setup and resolution, and overall vibe that I\u2019ll probably revisit it once or twice a year for the foreseeable future.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"190\" height=\"190\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/GFR-Logo-190x190.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-122598\" style=\"width:50px\"  \/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.netflix.com\/title\/82089114\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Bunny<\/a> is currently streaming on Netflix, and it\u2019s the best movie from last year that you probably haven\u2019t seen. This is a modern cult classic in the making if I\u2019ve ever seen one.
