	Media	Author	Review
		Peter Debruge Variety	"A waking nightmare packed with striking images (...) uneven yet inspired."
		John DeFore The Hollywood Reporter	"It may puzzle horror fans who hope it represents the arrival of a new genre star (...) An odd entry in the filmography of writer-director Issa Lopez"
		Jeannette Catsoulis The New York Times	"Thematically underdeveloped yet pleasingly creepy, 'Tigers Are Not Afraid' balances its mild terrors with appealing moments of childish creativity"
		Justin Chang Los Angeles Times	"A child’s fable that is itself far too graphic and grim to be appreciated by children (...) Both the emotion and the horror might have taken still deeper root if the world of the movie felt less hectic"
		Katie Rife AV Club	"López’s approach to kids-in-peril adventure combines wonder and danger in a distinctly Spielbergian way (...) 'Tigers Are Not Afraid' is at its most effective when it uses its fertile imagination to terrify"
		Monica Castillo The Wrap	"Once the spell of 'Tigers Are Not Afraid' ends and the credits roll, its story lingers in the air. It’s a story of sadness, loss and survival, a fairy tale tailor-made for our anxious times"
		Andrew Parker The Gate	"A wholly unique and deeply moving film that takes its cues from real life fears"
