‘Sasquatch Sunset’: A wild, woolly elegy for creatures that never existed

The only dialogue in “Sasquatch Sunset” is grunts, hoots and warbles, but the soulfulness of its actors shines through.

“Sasquatch Sunset” is either the silliest movie you’ll see in 2024 or one of the most unexpectedly affecting, but like the meme says, why not both? A year in the life of a family of Bigfoots — Bigfeet? — it functions simultaneously as slow-motion slapstick, a very hairy nature documentary and a melancholy portrait of creatures not unlike us as they confront their own disappearance from the Earth.

There’s comedy in their interactions, though, and some primal and universal urges. Specifically horniness: The alpha male is more or less continually tumescent — we all know guys like him, right? — and the matriarch has long since had enough. A scene in which the big fella ingests some hallucinogenic mushrooms and, in an advanced priapic state, goes off to find something, anything, to mate with does not end especially well.
