Hundreds of Beavers finally opens in Charleston South Carolina this weekend. Excited to be seeing it. Would’ve loved to see it as a double feature with Sasquatch Sunset, which I am waiting for Sonny to review.

Finally saw it. Only three people in the theater, two of whom were me and my friend. Sad.

You are right: it was worth seeing and you won’t see another film like it.

It's so funny, I actually almost did a Beavers/Sasquatch double review, but I ended up being very annoyed by Sasquatch Sunset (I just found it emotionally manipulative and pleased with itself and weirdly preoccupied with notions of Sasquatch sexual consent). I have a general (though not absolute) rule about not tearing down indie flicks no one is probably going to watch anyway, so I decided not to review it anywhere but Letterboxd.

Can you provide a link to the letterboxd review?

Thanks. I liked it better than you did and I still think a fuller review might be interesting to your readers.

By the way, your review of Challenges never mentions the word “marriage.” As a retired film reviewer, a divorce lawyer of 30 years, and a husband of 34 years, I’m telling you it was a psychological-horror movie about marriage among the upwardly mobile, self-actualizing class, disguised as a movie about tennis.

I am happy to send you my link to my blog about it if you’re interested.
