Steve Dollar of The Wall Street Journal gave the film a positive review and wrote, “ Writer-director Alison Bagnall’s films don’t lack for compassionate, screwball humor, but their unique charms tend to be indivisible from their eccentricities.” [7]
Simon Abrams of The Village Voice gave the film a negative review and wrote, “ We watch three emotionally stunted strangers act out like spoiled, overgrown adolescents, forming a love triangle that’s not bizarre so much as obnoxious. But we never learn what draws these inarticulate characters together beyond mutual estrangement.” [8]
At the 18th Brooklyn Film Festival, Olly Alexander won the Best Actor Award and Kentucker Audley, David Barker and Caleb Johnson won the Best Editing Award. [9]
Funny Bunny premieres Sunday in Narrative Competition at the SXSW Film Festival.
