In the misty forests of North America, a family of Sasquatches—possibly the last of their enigmatic kind— embark on an absurdist, epic, hilarious, and ultimately poignant journey over the course of one year.
These shaggy and noble giants fight for survival as they find themselves on a collision course with the ever-changing world around them. Starring Riley Keough (Mad Max: Fury Road, American Honey) and Academy Award- Nominee Jesse Eisenberg (Zombieland, The Social Network), acclaimed directors David and Nathan Zellner (Kumiko, the Treasure Hunter) bring you the greatest Bigfoot story ever told.Remember that famous grainy footage of Bigfoot walking across a clearing? Ever wondered what happened next? Well that's the premise for this bizarre mix of ribald humour and melancholy pathos from David and Nathan Zellner (Kumiko the Treasure Hunter, Damsel). A singular, hugely imaginative and somehow quietly heartbreaking film, accompanied by a beautiful soundtrack from acid folk experimentalists The Octopus Project. A one-off.
"Probably one of the funniest and most poignant movies you'll see this year about Riley Keough and Jesse Eisenberg explosively pissing and shitting on everything in sight for 100 minutes." David Ehrlich, Indiewire
"Who knew that a film containing this much gratuitous arse-scratching could ultimately be so heartbreaking?" Wendy Ide, Guardian
4 stars “Ingenious… a brilliant and radical comedy” The Guardian
“A unicorn of a movie. It must be seen to be believed” Variety
“Hilarious and dementedly poignant” IndieWire
