SASQUATCH SUNSET Movie Review | Riley Keough | Jesse Eisenberg | Zellner Brothers

Sasquatches: They're just like us! They eat, they love, they cling to each other for community. That's the point of "Sasquatch Sunset," the latest indie curiosity from the filmmaking Zellner brothers, David and Nathan; David also wrote the script and Nathan also co-stars. Riley Keough and Jesse Eisenberg lead the pack in this darkly comic drama that's entirely wordless. Along with co-star Christophe Zajac-Denek, they're dressed head-to-toe in furry body suits and heavy prosthetic makeup to play a family of Bigfoots (Bigfeet?) wandering through the forests of the Pacific Northwest. Now showing in New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Austin; opening nationwide April 19. Click here to see if it's playing near you: bleeckerstreetmedia.com/sasqu...

“Sasquatch Sunset” sounds like a fake indie movie that’s a joke within a Hollywood satire I will check it out when it’s eventually accessible to me tho 😉

[@squatch545]

Christy's product segues are next level.

[@MattB0610]

Honestly. I usually dread the ad reads, but never with Breakfast All Day

[@musicmann1967]

I always look forward to them!

[@BreakfastAllDay]

Thank you! We like to entertain.

[@oliverbleuyoutube]

I absolutely adored this movie

[@jasoncarrick5461]

In this movie world of retreads, originality is so great to see. Eisenberg always picks interesting roles and one that got buried is "The Double", so watch that as well everyone!!

[@commandZee]

This movie needs a John Lithgow cameo.

[@lee1130fromtwitter]

Isn't he dead?

[@LateCambrian]

Finally!! The Star Wars Christmas Special Sequel!!!

[@BreakfastAllDay]

Yes, very close! :)

[@wrestlerguy24]

I'm not sure I've felt so differently from critics in my existence. I found this movie to endlessly keep me guessing, as I never knew where it was headed, as well as relentlessly hilarious. The scene where they discover the road and look 3 separate times at the 2 sides of the road, as well as the subsequent and ...passionate...marking of territory...phenomenally hilarious.

[@BreakfastAllDay]

That’s great! Disagreeing is fun.

[@Celestialrob]

Love the Lodge chat. Actually, I love my many Lodge skillets. The movie seems fun as well. You are both the best.

[@BreakfastAllDay]

Yes, they are the best! So versatile and enduring. Thanks Rob.

[@theebonymaw]

i love Alanso's reaction to the ad spot lol

[@BreakfastAllDay]

We don’t rehearse it ahead of time. It’s fun to surprise him! 😄

[@oxhine]

Hey, Christy and Alonso! Sounds reminiscent of 1981's "Quest For Fire" by Jean-Jacques Annaud and 1988's "Missing Link" by Carol and David Hughes!

[@keng4847]

The characters just grunted to communicate in "Quest for Fire" but it did have something of an actual plot/storyline and some action and tension and a sense of adventure as the characters were on a very specific, dangerous quest. And it was a vivid, stark, powerful vision of what life was like for prehistoric people, that felt believable It wasn't just the camera following mythological creatures wander around or go through their daily routine, which is what this largely sounds like. I haven't seen "Missing link" so I can't speak on it.

[@jmason61]

I too thought about Quest for Fire as a parallel... that movie is cool & is worthy of rewatching...& it has cannibalism which I don't think this one has

[@MattB0610]

I’m sorry, y’all but this could not sound like a more painful time. I’m glad you both enjoyed it, to varying degrees but I’m definitely glad I watched this review before seeing it blind in theaters. This does kind of feel like the short film in the mix when you go see the Oscar shorts, where you admire the concept but you’re kind of exasperated by it afterwards.

[@BreakfastAllDay]

We are here to help!

[@thefilmseeker]

You hit the nail right on the head.

[@FilmFloozy]

Nice review!

[@jduncan957]

I couldn't believe what I was seeing when the Sometimes a Great Notion homage happened.

[@jamesfaust8835]

first viewing i was wtfing for about 2 days. 2nd screening and reflecting....it's really heartfelt...and gross :) love these takes.

[@BreakfastAllDay]

James! Good to see you. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. WTF indeed :)

[@heathra68]

What I love about no dialogue movies, is that each person sees a completely different movie. All subtextual storylines the viewer is actively writing. The only part I didn't care for was the human part. But I thoroughly enjoyed it.

[@chef1800]

I sort of think many are missing the point of the movie / project, may be wrong but I think in the world of flash bang action and overtly dramatic films, this movie forces you to think and watch and have an opinion, writing your own dialogue in your imagination. I believe we've been so used to having everything put right in our faces and explained for us that this kind of film baffles us.

[@blinkenschnaag777]

Time to have something that makes us rethink and go deeper

[@thefilmseeker]

Plenty of movies do that while also being good.

[@orus68]

I'm wondering if the ending is a tie in to the famous Patterson Gimlin film from 67 where it is supposedly a female Sasquatch and shot in bluff Creek in Willow Creek which what the building sign says at the end.

[@Jimvanhise]

This came and went in theaters so fast that it has only grossed (barely) one million dollars.

[@mediaikonz]

I was thinking of watching this while joining in the fungus among us.

[@joeherrera8826]

I liked it despite how weird the concept is and the actors were pretty talented acting like sasquatch though they could have tone down the gross out factor a bit.

[@ssssssstssssssss]

Sounds interesting. Does this fall in the realm of camp? From your description it sounds like it. I love going to the theater for a campy movie with lowbrow humor and hearing some dude rolling on the floor laughing.

[@BreakfastAllDay]

It is not campy at all. The tone is more restrained than that.

[@regiirecords8829]

Crazy they managed to work a car chase into this movie, but hey, it's Hollywood!

[@jonwesick2844]

How about a Sasquatch/100 Beavers crossover movie?

[@stevelanthripp5567]

Going to try to see 100s of Beavers on Wednesday

[@blinkenschnaag777]

Planning on watching Sasquatch Galactic Quest

[@dogtrainer4645]

As much as I love arthouse movies, this is a "No" for me 😅

[@BreakfastAllDay]

Just too weird, huh?

[@Psyfoob]

A++++ ad spot. 😂

[@BreakfastAllDay]

Ha, thanks, we aim to entertain!

[@americanpancakelive]

Alonso Duralde rates Sasquatch Sunset a lot higher than Civil War... interesting.

[@petergrossi6605]

I liked it… it’s languid, beautiful, hilariously demented….7/10

[@BreakfastAllDay]

Glad you sought this one out, Peter!

[@ThomasKirby-ub4vy]

Zone of interest parallel in terms of day to day documentary like stuff?

[@deogiriyadav8399]

Have u ever heard about.... Sardar udham... 2021 movie????

[@dianelangan8270]

Could you please review Hundreds of Beavers??

[@BreakfastAllDay]

We did! kzbin.info/www/bejne/mIK5dGyser-NqdU

[@dianelangan8270]

How did I miss this??? Thank you!!

[@david8905]

If you're looking for material of substance on Sasquatch see the documentary, "Flash of Beauty: Bigfoot Revealed"

[@musicmann1967]

Ironically, and I do mean IRON-ically, the Lodge link doesn't work.

[@BreakfastAllDay]

Fixed, thank you!

[@BottleConcreteBlond]

Christy is the master of segues!

[@BreakfastAllDay]

Thank you, thank you :)

[@RyuuMakato42]

01:10 At first I heard “facing off with redditors” 😂

[@BreakfastAllDay]

Ha, predators!

[@user-hg6gd7rq2m]

Although there is humor in the film you’re missing the whole concept of the movie …❤ the poop and the reason they defecated so profusely on the road was because it was a completely new territory and just like dog they defecate or piss on something that’s new or they want to mark this territory as there’s . Also when Riley smelled her vagina she smelling a different scent that she’s smelling pregnancy and making everybody snell her vaginal scent is how she informs the others that she is pregnant . Those who spend little time in nature really will not be able to read these hidden messages from those people who do … I think for people who spend a lot of time in the woods. This is a great film. I walked in there, thinking I would absolutely hate it but because I’m an Elvis fan and I support the Presley family, I decided to take a chance at it and surprisingly enjoyed it. However, this is not for everyone . If you’re an avid hiker with, and a lot of time in the woods, you’ll get the film and personally it was brilliantly done

[@BreakfastAllDay]

Thanks for watching our review and sharing your insights.

[@VikingMatt879]

This looks like a fake, pretentious movie trailer that would appear before Tropic Thunder: The man with the monotone Moviephone Trailer voice: "Like the sunsets, they were here first. And they will be here last. Like the sunsets, they will live eternal. They are Sasquii. Sasquatch Sunset."

[@BreakfastAllDay]

Ha, it doesn't take itself that seriously.

[@mywalkabout40]

Giving it a shot on Friday!

[@BreakfastAllDay]

Great, let us know what you think!

[@MarkSmith-ib3vh]

Why doesn't Christy do a cooking segment with viewers contributing recipes for people to vote on?don't think I'd watch the movie,though.

[@brianng8350]

I thought this was from Ari Aster or from his production company? The trailer turned me off, and Alonso’s recap confirmed it even with his positive review. Easy pass for me. Just saw The Long Game. One of those based on real life feel good story. Really enjoyed it, but I don’t think many people are watching it. Just spreading the love.

[@BreakfastAllDay]

He's an executive producer on it.

[@GoldyAF1]

the end was horrible

[@adderon7476]

Most judgmental elk in a movie

[@eileenjoystar9978]

We are waiting to watch in Australia 🦘 and some are missing the hard work and meaning to this movie

[@BreakfastAllDay]

Oh it's clear that a ton of work went into this movie.
