Hundreds of Beavers

There was no film released in 2024 as unique as Hundreds of Beavers. The ultra-independent feature from writer/director Mike Cheslik is essentially a silent, black-and-white, live-action cartoon bursting with next-level creative hijinks. The story centers on a 19th-century applejack distiller whose home and orchard get destroyed by beavers, leading him to go from hapless dolt to master hunter in order to seek revenge (and find love?) by creatively hunting the animals in the wintery Wisconsin wilderness… oh and all the beavers (and other critters) are just humans in big mascot costumes. The film becomes an inventive wall-to-wall visual gig factory that’s truly unlike any other modern movie, leading outlets like the Los Angeles Times and The A.V. Club to name it one of 2024’s 10 best films and the cinephiles at Letterboxd to rate it as the top comedy of the year. If absurdist slapstick comedy is your jam, heed the call of the beavers.
