Reception
Sasquatch has received mostly positive reviews with critics praising the pacing, animated recreations, and true sense of danger.[4] Richard Roeper of the Chicago Sun-Times wrote, "director Joshua Rofe makes great use of sparse, graphic-novel type re-enactment animation to augment the usual assortment of interviews and archival footage."[5] One of the few negative reviews came from Eileen Jones of Jacobin, who wrote that it consisted of "entirely unserious, exploitative hijinks" which contrasted with the serious subject matter.[6]
