Wild Tigers I Have Known Ratings & Reviews
Bay Area Reporter
David Lamble
Archer fleshes out his very slim story with beautiful, impressionistic slices of his hometown. Tom Gilroy is hilarious as a school principal whose pep rallies have to be seen to be appreciated. Fairuza
Cinematical
Karina Longworth
The movie wears its ancestors on its sleeve -- Tarnation and My Own Private Idaho, sure, but also Kenneth Anger, Warhol, Harmony Korine.
Los Angeles Times
Ed Gonzalez
This is lyricism at its most extreme, at once gripping and off-putting because Archer views his characters as if he were gawking at them through the bars of a cage.
Boston Globe
Wesley Morris
[Director] Archer isn't necessarily taking us anywhere new, but his movie's rapture is beautiful inside and out.
Seattle Times
John Hartl
Wild Tigers I Have Known studiously avoids the clichs of the genre. It's also exasperatingly inconclusive. Its dreamy, enigmatic characters often fail to engage.
eFilmCritic.com
Brian Orndorf
Archer hypothesizes that the junior high boner is the first step toward a lifetime of heartache and peer humiliation, and his argument is a vivid one.
Entertainment Weekly
Owen Gleiberman
The filmmaker, Cam Archer, seems to be trying for a mood of hazy self-pity, which he achieves just enough to make you wish he'd get over it.
Movie Eye
Frank Ochieng
There's just not enough psychological mustard to cover this earnest hotdog-of-a-movie about a male loner's breakout infatuation with the studmuffin of his wildest dreams.
Reel.com
Pam Grady
There is talent on display here, but it is ill-used, and that makes Wild Tigers I Have Known a frustrating experience.
Newsday
John Anderson
Young writer-director Cam Archer uses disjointed imagery, textures and clashing sound to create something seamlessly odd and poignantly pubescent.
TV Guide
Ken Fox
First-time feature filmmaker Cam Archer turns what might have been an exercise in salaciousness into a stylish visual poem about desire and adolescent alienation.
New York Post
V.A. Musetto
Cam Archer is a 24-year-old with a future. At least that's the impression given by his first feature, Wild Tigers I Have Known, which he wrote and directed.
New York Times
Stephen Holden
The moment at the dawn of adolescence when hormones and daydreams swirl into a heady fog of confusion is poetically evoked in Wild Tigers I Have Known.
Greenwich Village Gazette
Eric Lurio
If a film makes you root for the villain, and it's a "sesitive teen drama" then it fails.
The Hollywood Reporter
Richard James Havis
Stylish flourishes hold things together in the absence of strong plotting.
Spirituality & Practice
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat
A compelling portrait of a 13-year-old homosexual struggling with his identity, alienation from his peers, loneliness, and sexual fantasies.
Slant Magazine
Nick Schager
Wild Tigers I Have Known self-consciously attempts to stake its claim to a tract of the queer cinema landscape.
Variety
Dennis Harvey
An impressive declaration of talent that nonetheless gets a little drunk and disorderly at the trough of High Art.
Film Threat
Don R. Lewis
Archer proves that he has a unique way of storytelling through the medium of film.
