There's enough good-naturedness and cultural specificity here, alongside a slight deviation from the usual immigrant narratives, to render it a dollop of sweetness and novelty that goes down easy.

The jokes may unanimously fall flat, and The Tiger Hunter may offer no new insight into the immigrant experience, but it has a feel good, positive nature that redeems itself somewhat.

An encouraging look at the American Dream, at a time when it too often seems like a nightmare.
Washington Post
Rating: C+ --
The moral of the story, which I actually agree with, is "being happy is finding greatness in how you live." I'll give the film that.

Reeling Reviews
There has been no shortage of films tracking the immigrant pursuit of the American dream, but few have been as laugh-out-loud delightful as "The Tiger Hunter," a sparkling first feature by Lena Khan.

Los Angeles Times
Immigrant stories certainly don't demand tragedy to be legitimate, but The Tiger Hunter, with its pastiche of fish-out-of-water comedy and pointy collared shirts, ultimately feels weightless.

Village Voice
Rating: 3/5 --
This lighthearted dramedy treads the stalest, most worn-out story grooves imaginable, but thanks to its cultural sensitivity and sweetly lovable characters, it's very difficult not to like.
