Critics, per Wikipedia

On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 63% of 35 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 5.2/10. The website's consensus reads: "Bunnylovr is a daring debut by Katarina Zhu, but its lack of focus makes its meandering plot more frustrating than effective." Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned the film a score of 55 out of 100, based on 10 critics, indicating "mixed or average" reviews. Lovia Gyarkye of The Hollywood Reporter wrote, "Bunnylovr's strengths are in its engaging character study of a languid young woman who came of age online. It's not a novel portrait, but Zhu makes it wholly her own. We watch Becca, a Chinese-American woman, float from…

    Saw Bunnylovr by Katarina Zhu last night at Paradise on Bloor. I found this review on Letterboxd and I just had to share, I couldn't have articulated my thoughts and feelings on this film any better:

    Katarina Zhu’s debut feature “Bunnylovr” follows a cam girl navigating online relationships, family estrangement, and agency in the digital age. Premiered at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival, the film stars Zhu alongside Rachel Sennott. Now in select theaters. Read more: sndnc.org/4c7bLjx

    .. but given how tied so many are to online personas, I suspect many will see themselves in Bunnylovr in some respect. And that’s a quality that could make the movie itself an extremely positive version of one of the things it explores - an experience that combats loneliness via a shared connection.

    "Bunnylovr" announces a promising filmmaker in Katarina Zhu, who wrote, directed and stars as a cam girl who starts private shows with a rich client — while dealing with her ailing father. Parts are raw, but Zhu's talent on both sides of the camera are evident. moviecricket.net/sundance-202... 13/

    ‘Bunnylovr’ chronicles a young woman’s occupation as a camgirl while her digital and actual lives clash. I’d just wish the film gave a better sense of who where she wants to go, rather than languish in unresolved episodes of her life. My #Sundance2025 review: substreammagazine.com/2025/01/bunn...

    #Sundance2025: Film#16 BUNNYLOVR is an unblinking portrait of a Chinese American cam girl (Katarina Zhu) tangled in toxic relationships, save for the goodest rabbit in film history (maybe). This one had me hopping out of the theater questioning what I just watched, albeit in a good way.

    Unless a screener comes thru, then my final film of the fest this year is BUNNYLOVR, a compelling character piece about alienation, loneliness and the limits that those things might drive one to. Katarina Zhu is magnetic on-screen and off.

    Bunnylovr: Some fantasies are better off staying fantasies. This outright becomes a horror film in like 2 or 3 different scenes just because of a creepy man not knowing his place and an optimistic woman not keeping completely firm with her "this doesn't feel right" first judgment.

    Bunnylovr @ #Sundance2025 was an intimate look @ a semi-lost & vulnerable webcam performer. Writer-director-star Katarina Zhu’s semi-autobiographical film, per the Q&A is a way of confronting fears & embracing herself & being confident in who she is. Solid coming of age tale.
