Vividly realized and moving in its epic scope, Tigertail is the film debut of Master of None co-creator Alan Yang, and the film fortunately proves the writer is well able to work without the collaboration of disgraced stand up Aziz Ansari.

Based loosely on the life of the filmmaker's father, the movie slips in time between his early love life in Taiwan and his monotonous, monochromatic existence in the promised land of America.

Taking on everything from first love to the emigrant experience and its alternating loneliness and boredom, this ambitious life story manages to straddle timelines impressively and makes for a funny, charming, and moving debut.
