The Man Who Killed Hitler and Then the Bigfoot is a thoroughly enjoyable and sneakily touching oddity which is entirely worthy of a big screen outing. Read full review

The Man Who Killed Hitler and Then The Bigfoot lays all its cards on the table up front, but then still manages to never quite be what you expect it to be. It juggles a lot of ostensibly ridiculous ideas, but they all land just right because the film's deliciously dour tone, that sort of snuggles everything within the warm embrace of Sam Elliott's ruggedness and regret.

The Man Who Killed Hitler And Then The Bigfoot is a strange but enjoyable mishmash of genres and ideas held together by the gravitas and class of Sam Elliott. Read full review

The gambit doesn’t really work — fans of "The Notebook" and people who own "Sorority Babes In The Slimeball Bowl-O-Rama" will both come away disappointed — but it’s hard not to respect Krzykowski’s attempt to do something different. Read full review

It’s a film full of interesting ideas, all wrapped up in messy, even shoddy methods, and an undeniably sincere and rather astonishing performance from Sam Elliott, who doesn’t seem to give a hoot whether he’s hunting Bugs Bunny or the Oscar gold–he’s just going to go for it, dammit.

I suppose there are some who will get off on this movie’s competence and uber-sincerity, but I found the premise one or two bridges too far. Sam Elliott junkies, too, are sure to be delighted. Read full review

There is something admirably perverse about a movie that treats the killings of Hitler and Bigfoot as secondary to a character study of a crusty old man and his regrets, but that doesn’t make the film less dull or deflating to watch. Read full review

Well....I’ll get to that later. This is a little movie that showed up out of nowhere in the festival circuit last year and had its wide release this year, starring Sam Elliot right around his Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor for his role in 2018’s A Star Is Born remake, directed by Bradley Cooper and starring him and Lady Gaga. Note to self: watch A Star Is Born. Anyway, from the title you would expect this to be some sort of Bubba Ho-Tep/Terry Gilliam-esque tongue-in-cheek self-aware absurdist comedy, but that’s not what it is at all. It’s actually a serious drama about an old man’s relationship with his girlfriend and family in the past. It also happens to be about the guy who killed Adolf Hitler in World War II and is tasked by the government to go kill Bigfoot because he is spreading a deadly disease that could wipe out all life on earth. This is a weird movie. Like, it’s not bad, it is pretty well-made, if a little poorly paced (Some parts drag and it is really slow.), but it’s very weird. The performances were good, Sam Elliot especially was great, but the Bigfoot suit that they used just looked terrible! It just looks like a guy in a suit! The Bigfoot in Harry and the Hendersons looked better! Was it some kind of a joke? Like, the reason Bigfoot sightings look like a guy in a suit is because that’s what he actually looks like and it’s not actually a guy in a suit? I don’t get it. Luckily, it wasn’t in the movie that much so it wasn’t too distracting. The cinematography and the music weren’t that memorable, but there were some scene transitions that I thought were cool. Overall, this is a very odd little film. It’s not perfect and I don’t think it’s for everyone, it is pretty slow and very weird, but I can’t say it isn’t unique! I say check it out, you might like it!… Expand

Pretty brave choice for a feature debut. I predict some interesting stuff from this cat in the future.
