Reviews for this film from our members:
- David Bax @ Battleship Pretension
- Excerpt: The new film version of Blume’s 1981 novel, Tiger Eyes, as directed by the author’s son, Lawrence Blume, removes the specificity that marks his mother’s work (I’ll admit I haven’t read this one), downgrading it to exactly the kind of afterschool pablum Judy Blume so adroitly avoided.
- Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat @ SpiritualityandPractice.com
- Excerpt: A moving depiction of a teenage girl’s quest for a way out of her sadness, grief, and loss over the sudden death of her beloved father.
- [New – 9/26] | Sarah D Bunting @ Tomato Nation
- Marilyn Ferdinand @ Ferdy on Films
- Excerpt: Tiger Eyes is a film well aimed at young adults grappling with their own growing pains and dark histories. In a marketplace bereft of substantial family films, Tiger Eyes is a welcome addition.

- Excerpt: Although tamed by two too many music-video-styled sequences, director Lawrence Blume’s faithful adaptation, of his mother Judy Blume’s popular young adult novel, has all the right instincts.
