Alan Yang has a reputation in TV for being a great writer and producer of comedies. But his newest film “Tigertail” “tosses that résumé out the window.” “It’s not intimate, it’s small,” our critic writes.
Though the voiceover narration takes on a touching dimension later in the film, it does much of the heavy lifting at the start: Born in Taiwan, Pin-Jui lost his father when he was only a year old and his mother, desperate to find work in the city, left him with his grandparents to raise him in the rice fields of rural Taiwan.
In the present day, a much older Pin-Jui, played with quiet gravity by Tzi Ma, is living with the consequences of his decisions, though he's reticent to talk about them. His emotional remove has put a strain on his relationship to his grown daughter Angela , whose personal life has been adversely affected by his influence. Both have a practical side that keeps them at a distance from the people they care about, and both are too stubborn to come to terms with each other readily.
