Tigertail Review

The story starts off with the protoganist Pin-jui, a small kid living with his Grandparent's after the death of his father, while his mother is away in search of a job that could provide her son with better opportunities. Pin- jui meets Yuan, a similar aged girl. Years passed they eventually fall in love. Pin-jui after working alongside his mother at a factory, thinks it's no longer safe for her to work and now it's his turn to give her a better opportunity. He takes up a deal with the his boss to move to America along with his daughter Zhenzhen, leaving his first love behind without a goodbye.

The hardships of being in a marriage with no love, having children where there is no communication or bound and being regretful of the past is what this movie is all about. The movie alters between the past and present which can be made out easily. To me the movie had a slow pace with no main plot. The production seemed cheap and the acting at the movies end just made all the building expectations not worth it. But all together it's a thought provoking movie and hence watchable.
