If it doesn&#8217;t work for you, you&#8217;ll find it gross and boring. There is no middle ground.&#8221; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That makes me the unicorn of this Bigfoot movie. Yes, there are a lot of impressive excretions, but all the characters are animals. They aren&#8217;t afraid of or embarrassed by their bodily functions. And I wasn&#8217;t bored- but I wasn&#8217;t enthralled, either. There were a few moments where a chuckled, and more moments where I connected to the feelings of the creatures, but for the most part I just watched with mild interest. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Riley Keough&#8217;s mother Sasquatch is given the biggest (but not very big) character arc, and she&#8217;s the easiest to connect with. The other actors do well with what they&#8217;re given, but what they&#8217;re given isn&#8217;t very much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I just figured out a way to add some hidden text, so let&#8217;s try adding some spoilers!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><spoiler class=\"spoiler-789857728\"> The practical effects mostly work, but good golly they should have thrown a little CGI at the Sasquatch baby! Also: There&#8217;s a scene that&#8217;s a direct reference to the &#8220;drowning under a log&#8221; scene in <em>Sometimes a Great Notion.<\/em> <\/spoiler>\n\t\t\t<script type=\"text\/javascript\">\n\t\t\t\tjQuery(document).ready(function($) {\n\t\t\t\t\t$(\".spoiler-789857728\").spoilerAlert({max : 4, partial : 2});\n\t\t\t\t});\n\t\t\t<\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sasquatch Sunset: Smell the magic! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1285,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"activitypub_content_warning":"","activitypub_content_visibility":"","activitypub_max_image_attachments":10,"activitypub_interaction_policy_quote":"anyone","activitypub_status":"federated","footnotes":""},"categories":[161,63],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1283","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-movie-pass-adventures","category-movies"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ga2so.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1283","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ga2so.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ga2so.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ga2so.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ga2so.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1283"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.ga2so.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1283\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1292,"href":"https:\/\/www.ga2so.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1283\/revisions\/1292"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ga2so.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1285"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ga2so.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1283"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ga2so.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1283"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ga2so.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1283"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
