Jesse Eisenberg, communing with a butterfly
a film in which a family—or something—of four apelike creatures wander through the forests and mountains of what appear to be the California Redwoods. In spring, two of them mate—we see them rutting dutifully in the grass, as the other two look on with expressions we can’t quite read, probably a mingling of curiosity and jealousy.
This is just the way things go in Sasquatch world: It may seem like a kind of wild, wild west, but it's really a mini civilization unto itself, and there are rules. Though at first it’s hard to tell the Sasquatch apart, their personalities emerge quickly. In a scene where tragedy strikes, Keough Sasquatch expresses exasperation, followed by muted, slow-burning grief—it’s all there in the soulfulness of her eyes.
At Sundance, where the film premiered, audience members reportedly walked out in sizable numbers, turned off by the film’s myriad gross-outs. But the real problem withis that it’s distancing, in an art-project way. The movie is just too coy, too overt in the way it signals when we’re supposed to be appalled and when we’re supposed to be moved; it advertises its weirdness even as it strives to convince us how much these Sasquatch are like you and me.
