Critic Reviews

V.A. Musetto

What do you get when you mix a Douglas Sirk melodrama with a Sergio Leone Western? Tears of the Black Tiger, a high-camp Western from, of all places, Thailand. Read full review

Sean Axmaker

It has a tendency to overextend its outrageous arias, but this pop-art confection both spoofs and celebrates the crazy conventions of movie melodramas and genre cinema with pure affection. Read full review

Dana Stevens

Written and directed by Wisit Sasanatieng, a commercial director making his first feature film, Tears of the Black Tiger is a technical and aesthetic marvel. Read full review

Elizabeth Weitzman

Director Wisit Sasanatieng uses every trick imaginable to create surreal postmodern nostalgia. Has he wound up with pure camp, or a cult classic? As he clearly understands, the best B-movies are both. Read full review

David Edelstein

A jaw-dropper: a delirium-inducing crash course in international trash. Read full review

Stephanie Zacharek

This is a scrapbook, a happy jumble, of many of the things we instinctively respond to in movies: color, shape, sound and movement, all intensified by heightened emotion. Read full review

Owen Gleiberman

A few more films like Tears of the Black Tiger, and kitsch will be on its way to having a bad name. Read full review

This movie doesn't leave one cowboy movie or romance cliche unturned. Romance moves WAY too slowly but cowboy portions are a blast. Movie is part sendup and tribute. The sidekick character is a standout.
