"Tears of the Black Tiger" is a truly cult film in all aspects and provides a very rewarding experience, although I felt that the romantic aspect could be a bit toned down

It is nice just to sit back and let the day-glo colours wash over you, marvelling at the high-spirited energy.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 7, 2007

If the story were as captivating as the color palette, we'd all be crying tears for the Black Tiger.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 4, 2007

Tears of the Black Tiger ultimately works best as an exercise in cinematic style, making it not only a quirky little nostalgia trip but a noteworthy cult flick worth checking out.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 25, 2007

Has lots of pop energy and an admirable poker-face when it comes to its Douglas Sirk-ian storyline. And even though it's essentially a Frankenstein's monster stitched together from a zillion other movies, you really haven't seen anything like it.

Tears of the Black Tiger is like a fever dream dripping with overripe romantic melodrama. Imagine Douglas Sirk directing a spaghetti western.

The movie is a riot of tropical turquoise, magenta and pink, spiced with marigold, red and green. You'd swear it was drenched in a tangy tamarind sauce

| Original Score: 3/4 | Mar 30, 2007

The movie is fun to watch, with an attractive cast.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Mar 30, 2007

Delirious and oddball at once, it's like a plate of meringues -- delicious at first, but soon everything tastes the same, and after a while you get sick.

Camp out with Tears, a hoot, and your tent will be wet only from tears of laughter.

The movie is a long time coming, but the wait for the self-absorbed film to end seems even longer. Maybe the Black Tiger's tears are of frustration.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Mar 14, 2007

You've never seen and never will see anything quite like Tears of the Black Tiger.

| Mar 8, 2007

The early scenes are interesting and enjoyable. And then the novelty wears off, but the film doesn't end.

| Mar 5, 2007

It's safe to say you've never seen a film like this before.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Mar 2, 2007

Who knows ... you just might love it.

An enjoyably energetic genre romp.

| Mar 2, 2007

A garishly colored pastiche of classic Thai movie genres that draws liberally on both American and Hong Kong influences.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 2, 2007

A parody of and winking homage to the history of Thai melodrama, Wisit Sasanatieng's uproarious filmmaking debut exuberantly combines pop and kitsch with a wholesome belief in the thrills of bad art.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Mar 2, 2007

... this pop-art confection both spoofs and celebrates the crazy conventions of movie melodramas and genre cinema with pure affection.

| Original Score: B+ | Mar 1, 2007
