One of Tribeca2023's best movies, Smoking Tigers is a specific and full coming-of-age story from So Young Shelly Yo. rockmarooned's review:
Hayoung , a Korean-American teenager in early 2000s Southern California, is presumed to live up to certain stereotypes of academic ambition and achievement, even as the differences and obstacles in front of her are plain as day.
Even more striking is how writer-director So Young Shelly Yo shoots these scenes, and Hayoung herself. Shelly finds reflections in swimming pools, glass doors and mirrors to frame Hayoung as a young woman whose identity is clear on the surface, but not always fully fleshed out, and decidedly separate from say, Rose , a more privileged Korean-American student she meets at hagwon – though she doesn’t lack for problems, either.
