Drew Hunt Chicago Reader Ross's films, similar to those of his peers Joe Swanberg and Andrew Bujalski, are deceptively formal, notable for the way they upend notions of time and space while maintaining a palpable sense of realism. Jan 25, 2013 Full Review Peter Sobczynski Chicago Sun-Times Infinitely more interesting and watchable than most of its lo-fi brethren and fully deserving of the praise that it has already received in indie film circles. Rated: 3.5/4 Jan 24, 2013 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Tiger Tail In Blue is often by fans of Frank V. Ross's films considered to be his best film. The structure is outstanding and it's surreal tendencies add so much emotional weight to the film which I don't want to give away. But, with it, the characters, and it's subversive structure Frank V. Ross manages to pull off one of the most realistic relationship examinations. A massively underrated film along with the rest of the films Frank V. Ross directed. Please check out his work. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/28/18 Full Review Audience Member Frank V. Ross pulls off a very nuanced bit of Surrealism in this otherwise painfully realistic study of a young married couple dealing with competing job schedules to find time to be together. There is never any doubt that these two people love each other, but it isn't clear how they will work through restrictions of time and an economic inequity to continue to grow together. Rebecca Spence gives strong performances as her character's husband begins to interact with an idea of his wife as well as her realistic incarnation. Frank V. Ross has cast himself in the leading role. He does a solid job, but it might have worked better with another actor as the husband. "Tiger Tail in Blue" works as a naturalistic snapshot of a winter in the life and edges out something a bit more complex way via a shift in the husband's perspective. The smartest aspect of this shift is the fact that Ross never pulls the focus on it. It is a welcomed concept. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Read all reviews
