I’m Glad Everyone Had Such a Good Time Making Sasquatch Sunset
If only there were more reason to actually watch the movie they made.
The answer to that first question is self-evident, according to Sasquatch Sunset, which follows a pack of four of the mythical creatures of its title over a year as they deal with internecine drama, weather some losses, welcome new life, and face an existential threat. These longer works have a tendency to feel like an hour’s worth of engaging ideas stretched over a feature’s runtime, a sensation that’s doubly true for Sasquatch Sunset, which probably could have accomplished all it needed to in 30 minutes. But Sasquatch Sunset wavers between earnestness and irony in a way that erodes its final turn toward pathos, one that feels like it might have been more effective if the film as a whole were tighter and less of a prolonged meander through bodily humor and meditative sequences of chewing the cud.
