Absolutely brilliant
I wish I understood more about Spanish fairy tales and folklore to better engage with Tigers Are Not Afraid. That said, this is a beautiful and haunting movie. It works beautifully even if you don’t fully understand all the fantastical elements. Thank you Shudder for making this available.
