Josh Kupecki

Austin Chronicle

The whole thing boils down to Hioki's ego, and watching a 45-year-old musician trying to keep his band together becomes a bit taxing.

Rated: 2.5/5

Soren Andersen

Seattle Times

Combining rowdy concert footage and revealing offstage interactions of the band members, "Mad Tiger" is a well-executed portrait of a band coming apart at the seams.

Rated: 3/4

New York Times

The movie is obviously heartfelt, but the directors, Jonathan Yi and Michael Haertlein, never turn this motley crew into compelling characters.

"Mad Tiger" is a great spectacle, a very interesting documentary about a bunch of crazy, but utterly compelling characters.

The Stranger (Seattle, WA)

Is he a madman, a genius, or something else altogether? By the end, it becomes clear why the directors titled their film Mad Tiger.

Movie Mezzanine

Mad Tiger is an incomplete character portrait that coasts on the idea that the band's crazy antics are compelling enough to fill out a feature runtime.

I was really happy watching this movie. It shows not only the personal side of the musicians but also the value of real friendship . I fully recommend to anyone interested in watching a touching and different story. Absolutely AMAZING editing!!! Really worth watching!!!
