Before long, she senses being followed by a mysterious presence. As encounters with the "big man" (Isaac C.

Roger Ebert says: “Unlike any Bigfoot movie you have ever imagined.” New York Times (CRITICS' PICK): “Pleasurably eccentric... the kind of off-Hollywood production that still makes Sundance surprising.” Artforum: “A must-see.... I believed every minute of it.” The New Yorker: “A remarkable film.” Newcity Chicago: “Graceful, uncynical and transporting, ‘Letters’ is an original and a beauty." The Hollywood Reporter: “An evolved sasquatch rendered with earnestness and filmmaking skill... Original and affecting.” Time Out New York: “See it.” Village Voice: “Emotionally involving.... an authentic discovery.” Film Comment: “Letters isn’t a spoof, a horror movie or a new-age metaphor.... It’s closer to a fairy tale that retains its hold on the adult imagination.” Brooklyn Based: “A powerful meditation on the environment without the heavy handedness of a Greenpeace ad.” The Oregonian: “A strange dance of love with a sasquatch, handled with just the right touch.... Well played by the entire cast, beautifully shot... delicate, haunting and sweet.” Screen International: “Shot in the sprawling forests of southern Oregon... Munch explores both the scenery and the character’s calm within it with sometimes mesmerising grace.”
