this tender family portrait is an impressive dramatic debut; "Tigertail" is a deeply sincere and stirring first film, that powerfully evokes painful and thrilling memories with a gorgeous, woozy ambience
this drama is unexpectedly moving, in part because the main character suppresses his emotions for so long that he doesn't recognize them until they smack him in the face late in life
anchored by Alan Yang's sensitive direction and a Tzi Ma performance teeming with life, "Tigertail" is romantic, thoughtful, and heartbreaking all at once
a small, heartfelt and personal drama from writer-director Alan Yang; Tzi Ma is an acting treasure and delivers a perfectly nuanced portrayal of a man living with regrets
