- 90The New York TimesManohla DargisThe New York TimesManohla DargisThe woman in Christopher Munch's lovely, delightfully idiosyncratic Letters From the Big Man, resplendent with its own dense forests and cloudy Oregon days, has already fallen to earth and is looking for a way back up or maybe just forward. She gets help from a sasquatch.
- 70Village VoiceVillage VoiceIts quiet plea for reconnection with the non-human world is persuasive, and the engaged, agile meditation on the limits of communication at its center aligns it with Munch's earlier work. Oregon's million-dollar scenery, a sweet cameo by Karen Black, and Rabe's tough/tender performance sweeten the pot.
- 70The Hollywood ReporterJames GreenbergThe Hollywood ReporterJames GreenbergThis is clearly not a film made for everyone, but for a fortunate few, it will feel like a cleansing in nature.
- 60Time OutKeith UhlichTime OutKeith UhlichThe story's half-baked environmental themes become more prevalent as Letters from the Big Man progresses to its back-to-nature finale, which unfortunately distracts from Munch's consistently sure hand with his actors.
- 40VarietyDennis HarveyVarietyDennis HarveySurely the least excitable beauty-meets-Bigfoot film ever made.
