This may well be a post apocalyptic story or it may not! It's a difficult call but certainly this is a most unusual and yet beguiling film the very set up hinting at a silly comic book style adventure but, whilst there is a lot of humour here, this is like a wildlife film only it's about legendary creatures. The narrative follows a small troop of Sasquatch creatures (aka Bigfoot) as they struggle for survival in the dense forest of North America. There's four of them at at various times they attempt to signal others but to no avail suggesting these are the last of a dying species. They exhibit human and animal traits and communicate by grunts or whoops similar to apes. We get to see their jealousies, their sexual habits and inevitably the journey brings them to the edges of the human world, a baffling and dangerous one. And yet we never see any humans which leaves the post apocalyptic reading open and indeed there are other things that suggest this. Riley Keough is the female accompanied by Jesse Eisenberg as one of the males.There performances are quite remarkable and they communicate to us the viewer with an eloquence that makes the film quite witty in an unnerving and at times gripping way. A surprising film that is well worth your time.
We only lasted 10 mins then bailed god its slow and dull dull dull !!! Maybe ill give it another go tonite, didnt realise Eisenberg was in it.
