Sasquatch Sunset review: A nature walk with Bigfoot

Among the most naturalistic cryptozoological studies in modern film, Sasquatch Sunset still feels like a full movie

Sasquatch Sunset has more in common with a nature documentary than a narrative film: 89 minutes of wordless, but not silent, footage of a bigfoot family, which, at first, is only discernable by height. Even Sunset’s most recognizable star, Jesse Eisenberg , is lost under the layers of hair and prosthetics.

But the tactility of the make-up and performance is closer to the opening section of 2001: A Space Odyssey. Sunset’s performances engage through a sense of discovery drawn out by the Zellners’ script that carefully decodes the characters’ non-verbal cues. Some are self-evident—when the largest, angriest sasquatch wants sex, he smacks the sides of his fists together to get it. Other actions take time to register—a mid-film scratch-and-sniff of the crotch reveals itself to be a pregnancy test.
