Tiger Stripes's reviews
Media reviews
The Playlist
The use of body horror allegories in cinema to address the physical, physiological, and mental changes brought on by puberty could hardly be called original. However, by delightfully and intelligently remixing symbols and metaphors Malaysian director Amanda Nell Eu refreshes the concept in her zesty debut feature Tiger Stripes.
Collider
This bold feature debut refuses to shy away from gore, social commentary, or a heartwarming ending for its characters.
Screen Daily
It truly growls in its depiction of the brutal nature of girl friendship and the shock of the menstrual metamorphosis.
The A.V. Club
Where it feels uninspired gore-wise, it similarly feels muddled in its message.
Indiewire
With its use of body horror taking a backseat just when it might have worked best, Nell Eu is seemingly reluctant to make a B-movie, having written a script that could make for a fantastic one. That makes "Tiger Stripes" good, rather than great.
