Critics Consensus

The Man Who Killed Hitler and Then the Bigfoot just about lives up to the wild promise of its title, due in no small part to Sam Elliott's world-weary work in the title role.

FilmWeek (LAist)

It is far more gripping as an understated character study than it is as a wild B-movie.

It's a mix that shouldn't work, but thanks to Elliott's rugged sincerity it somehow does.

Rated: 4/5

Empire Magazine

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.

Rated: 3/5

Laramie Movie Scope

Veteran actor Sam Elliot gives a strong performance as Calvin Barr, a man haunted by his past as an assassin. The end of the film is puzzling, but we do get a good sense of who Calvin is. He reminds me of one that Elliot played in the "The Hero" (2017).

Rated: B

Keith & the Movies

“The Man Who Killed Hitler and Then the Bigfoot” screams low-budget pulp. Who knew it was actually a meditative character study full of deep feeling and pathos.

Rated: 4.5/5

Do not waste your time. Storyline is ridiculous. Only signed up to Rotton tomatoes so I can warn people not to bother watching. Could have been great if not for the big foot stuff- so dumb

Only shallow to shallow people. I can see why a lot of people didn't like this. It does have the appearance of a shallow B movie, but (and I know this sounds ridiculous to some) it is much deeper than that. If you aren't too judgemental about it, you can allow yourself to see that, but it's something many people just won't be able to understand, whether they see the message or not. A lot of viewers seem to analyze it from an academic standpoint, because that's all they know how to do, but its message comes from a place that you simply have to experience yourself in real life to understand, unless you're very perceptive or empathetic. It is very different, though - experimental. If you can't understand its message, you might still enjoy it for the novelty alone.

I dunno... what are we doing here? I couldn't really tell for sure, but I think it was supposed to be a serious movie. Though the silly looking Bigfoot really makes it hard to take seriously. How does something like this get funding. My guess is it was a product of the times. Maybe we can expect even more bizarre fare like this in America's second presidency of disillusionment.
