'Tigertail': Film Review - 'Master of None' co-creator Alan Yang shares a version of his own immigrant story in this Netflix indie.
,” which debuts on Netflix today: By drawing on specifics from his family story, Yang offers audiences — especially those with parents who were born abroad, as his were — a chance to see reflections of their own experience in a film determined to reconcile the gap between an immigrant father and his American-born child. At the same time, Yang overestimates just how relatable such a portrait might be, to the extent that “Tigertail” remains somewhat too obtuse in the telling.
Frankly, “Tigertail” is the kind of movie that belongs on the festival circuit, and it’s curious that none invited the film . It may not feel like it, but this is a vanity project, designed to show Yang’s serious, artistic side. Even post “Crazy Rich Asians,” hardly anyone in Hollywood is looking to produce movies like this . But Netflix has every reason to keep Yang happy.
“Tigertail” begins in the rice fields of occupied Taiwan, where Pin-Jui explains how he was sent to the countryside to live with his grandparents after his father’s death. The region was occupied by Kuomintang forces at the time, and though young Pin-Jui wasn’t old enough to understand the risk, Yang shows him forced to hide when soldiers visit the farm looking for dissidents. Into this difficult period comes a soulmate in the form of young Yuan.
