‘Bunnylovr’ Explores Loneliness and Connection in NYC Through a Cam-Girl’s Journey

Katarina Zhu’s debut feature delves into urban alienation and internet-age relationships while blending subtle drama with moments of unease.

The film follows Rebecca, a Chinese-American cam-girl in New York City, as she navigates loneliness, strained relationships, and personal struggles.
Rebecca’s life takes an unexpected turn when a client sends her a pet rabbit, which becomes a symbol of her emotional journey.
Director Katarina Zhu uses tight, claustrophobic camerawork to emphasize Rebecca’s isolation, though some critics found it redundant at times.
The film explores themes of consent, boundaries, and power dynamics but leaves some narrative threads underdeveloped.
‘Bunnylovr’ premiered at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival, receiving praise for its nuanced emotional beats and cultural specificity, though some found it lacking depth in character development.
