Sasquatch Sunset is an unconventional movie. The only characters are sasquatches, who spend their days mating, scratching their crotches, and beating trees with sticks. There's no dialogue, either: the creatures grunt, whine, and yell, but they don't speak. But patience is a virtue, and what starts out as a crass comedy with as much subtlety as you can expect from scenes of extended urination and defecation suddenly shifts gears around halfway through and becomes something much softer and more poignant.
The film's central family makes a lonely picture from the get-go as the small tribe of four makes their way across vast North American plains, forests, and mountains. There's the pack's alpha male (played by co-director Nathan Zellner), another male (Jesse Eisenberg), a female (Riley Keough), and her child (Christophe Zajac-Denek).
