In the misty forests of North America, a family of Sasquatches--possibly the last of their enigmatic kind--embark on an absurdist, epic, hilarious, and ultimately poignant journey over the course of one year. These shaggy and noble giants fight for survival as they find themselves on a collision course with the ever-changing world around them. Starring Riley Keough and Jesse Eisenberg, acclaimed directors David and Nathan Zellner (Kumiko, the Treasure Hunter) bring you the greatest Bigfoot story ever told.

Critics Consensus

For audiences attuned to the Zellners' utterly unique wavelength, Sasquatch Sunset offers a moving -- if often inscrutable -- look at our relationship with the natural world.

A family of sasquatches must contend with harsh weather, dangerous predators, and existential dread in the Zellner Brothers’ smart cryptozoological satire.

4/5

Multiple walkouts at Sundance suggest that the film is too languorous for some tastes and too gross for others. Hang in there and it’s rewardingly novel, touchingly human and agreeably nutty.

How audacious, beguiling and disturbing is this crazy, absurdist fantasy? Let me count the ways.

Despite the seemingly outlandish hook, David and Nathan Zellner‘s Sasquatch Sunset, which follows what appear to be a father, mother and child of the species, is, above all, just very boring.

The fact this film even exists is admirable. Unfortunately, that’s not quite enough.

2.5/5

However, the film becomes repetitive very soon. Once you understand where the film is going and what tropes it holds dear, then it becomes fairly obvious to predict what scenes will eventually follow.

One of the worst movies I have ever seen. It starts with obnoxious, gross humor (vomit, boners, etc.) and turns in a drama documentary.

This was torture watching it. A group of actors in prosthetic Sasquatch suits does not make a film! If the producers and director wanted to make a statement about the so called cruel world, this was a sham! No acting, just could have been done by an amateur. horrid waste of time n money! Pass this one by, the supposed statement it makes us already well known. Lol, at least have sub titles....

No entertainment value whatsoever! It's pretty much what you'd think a group of ape like creatures would do in their lifetimes.
