2.5/5
"Far from being a roaring, sinewy beast with a lot of bite that the title might suggest, John Boorman's latest has more in common with a lumbering white elephant."  Eye for Film  Amber Wilkinson

57/100
"A real waste of a potentially interesting premise."  Apollo Guide  Dan Jardine

3/5
"A messy but absorbing mystery."  DVDTalk.com  David Cornelius

2/4
"The Tiger's Tail, like Cassandra's Dream, prominently features a boat that is both symbol of financial attainment and emotional ruin; it also finds a master filmmaker defying the "show, don't tell" principle with almost crippling cynicism."  Slant Magazine  Ed Gonzalez

2/5
"Despite Boorman's subtle, suggestive direction and a nice central performance from Gleeson, this low-key thriller never quite works."  Shadows on the Wall  Rich Cline

2/5
"John Boorman's self-indulgent "moral fable" has promise ..., but like the dueling entrepreneurs who populate one strand of the narrative, delivers more sizzle than steak."  JWR  S. James Wegg

5/10
"If there's anything about the movie that really rises above the mediocre, it's Gleeson's fantastic performance."  Antagony & Ecstasy  Tim Brayton
