Review of The Man Who Killed Hitler and Then the Bigfoot (2019) by Imconorirl — 06 Apr 2020

Like many other people, I was drawn to this film because of the title. I've been meaning to watch it for quite a while now and finally got round to it. In general, the film is really quite enjoyable and I like the portrayal of the Bigfoot a lot as they've gone in a direction quite different to the 'conventional' portrayal. The premise of the story is pretty crazy, but kept me intrigued. The themes of finding belonging, loneliness and comfort in old age are really the strongest parts of the film and where a great performance from the lead actor can be found. However, this is marred by some strange editing choices as well as a romance story that feels like it's been wedged in for the sake of ticking a box. The film would be much stronger without it.

However, I think this is worth your time for the premise and the strong moments alone.
