Rotten
This is lyricism at its most extreme, at once gripping and off-putting because Archer views his characters as if he were gawking at them through the bars of a cage.
Ed Gonzalez, Los Angeles Times
Overview
A lyrical telling of the coming of age of a 14-year-old boy who learns to cope with his new found sexuality and his unrequited love for the cool kid in school.

[Director] Archer isn't necessarily taking us anywhere new, but his movie's rapture is beautiful inside and out.
Wesley Morris, Boston Globe
Rotten
Wild Tigers I Have Known studiously avoids the cliches of the genre. It's also exasperatingly inconclusive. Its dreamy, enigmatic characters often fail to engage.

The filmmaker, Cam Archer, seems to be trying for a mood of hazy self-pity, which he achieves just enough to make you wish he'd get over it.
Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly
Rotten
While there's something admirable in [director] Archer's attempt at making an ambient song of the self out of the protagonist's search for sexual identity (along with some heavily metaphorical mountain-lion attacks), the result is empty.
Joshua Rothkopf, Time Out New York
