When dawning adolescence brings some extra changes.

Full Review | Original Score: B+ | Jun 17, 2024

A thrilling addition to the empowered rebel and feral girl canon.

Full Review | Jun 17, 2024

It’s such a shame that a movie with such an exciting concept turns into such a drag.

Full Review | Jun 17, 2024

Bravo to both cast and crew for bringing to light what we still need to change and illustrating through Zaffan, that our (women's) collective spirits cannot and will not be silenced any longer.

A horror movie with purpose.

Might not work for everyone, but definitely worked for me

Full Review | Jun 14, 2024

Amanda Nell Eu’s feature debut is a lively coming-of-age story that mixes the mundane and the supernatural with ease.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4 | Jun 14, 2024

The conceit ... is intriguing, but the execution of this movie never quite makes its central metaphor make much sense.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Jun 14, 2024

Eu smartly weaves that universality together with local myths and legends, and the result is a little eerie and unsettling, a film about dark things we’re afraid to speak about.

Full Review | Jun 14, 2024

Cynical? Eu is certainly that. But she effectively establishes her points, employing metaphor to denounce sexism and some of the worst misogynists, other girls.

Amanda Nell Eu's Tiger Stripes offers a fresh perspective on the coming-of-age genre with a horror twist, though its lack of answers will frustrate.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Jun 13, 2024

The filmmaking sometimes shows ragged edges but Tiger Stripes sticks with you, and Eu and Zairizal create a portrait of an intensely independent young woman fighting to keep her physicality from being suppressed.

Full Review | Jun 13, 2024

Relying on low-cost means, clever filmmaking techniques, and an embrace of modern technology, this is a film entirely made by someone tapping into today and pulling off what they need to for the sake of a wild, intelligent, and culturally specific movie.

Full Review | Original Score: 7/10 | Jun 13, 2024

An engrossing, unconventional and poetic coming-of-age film.

Full Review | Jun 13, 2024

In the vein of Ginger Snaps and Raw, the debut feature from Malaysian writer-director Amanda Nell Eu explores female sexuality in grotesque and sublimely subversive ways. This fierce feminist fable is a force to be reckoned with.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Jun 12, 2024

Tiger Stripes is highly recommended for families looking for an off-the-beaten-path take on growing up.

Full Review | Original Score: 7.5/10 | Jun 12, 2024

In the face of restrictive religious and conservative beliefs, self-alienation and miseducation naturally follow suit and as such, films such as Tiger Stripes become all the more important.

Full Review | Jun 11, 2024

Tiger Stripes is a fresh coming-of-age horror story giving a Malaysian cultural spin on the classic tale of girlhood, growing up, and transformation.

Full Review | Original Score: 6.5/10 | Jun 10, 2024

It’s not exciting, and it most cases you don’t end up with superhuman abilities, but getting your period is a kind of body horror, right?

Full Review | Jun 10, 2024

Commanding an excellent cast—particularly first-time screen actor Zairizal, who has a natural and vibrant screen presence—and confident execution, Nell Eu makes an impressive debut feature with Tiger Stripes
