“u0026quot;Tigertailu0026quot; is one of the better films Iu0026#39;ve seen lately. A moving yet quiet film that offers viewers a look inside immigrant life.n.nIn this drama, a Taiwanese factory worker leaves his homeland to seek opportunity in America, where he struggles to find connection while balancing family and newfound responsibilities.n.nI found this film to be more compelling and resonant than 2019u0026#39;s u0026quot;The Farewellu0026quot;. u0026quot;Tigertailu0026quot; had my full attention from the start until the very bittersweet end. You get to see a completely other side of writer/director Alan Yang (u0026quot;Master Of Noneu0026quot;) and he leaves filmmaker imprints as he goes along. The performances in this film are great as well; the iconic Tzi Ma (u0026quot;The Farewellu0026quot;, u0026quot;Arrivalu0026quot;) really gets to show off his acting chops here playing a quiet but struggling man. You feel his pain and conflict throughout. I didnu0026#39;t think Iu0026#39;d enjoy u0026quot;Tigertailu0026quot; as much as I did and I think you should definitely stream it on Netflix.n.nFollow @snobmedia for more reviews!”
