The Tiger Rising is a 2022 American drama film written and directed by Ray Giarratana and starring Christian Convery, Madalen Mills, Katharine McPhee, Sam Trammell, Dennis Quaid and Queen Latifah.

[4][5] Twelve-year-old Rob Horton suffers from a strange, itchy rash on his legs that he knows is not contagious.

Things begin to change when Rob discovers a caged tiger in the forest while wandering the woods.

Rob, who usually keeps his feelings locked away in an imaginary suitcase, begins to involuntarily open up emotionally to Sistine.

[15] Nick Schager of Variety gave the film a negative review and wrote, "The fact that writer-director Ray Giarratana's film is based on Kate DiCamillo's children's book — and thus intended for young audiences — is hardly an excuse for such stodgy storytelling, which plays out with no mystery, ambiguity or subtlety.

"[16] Nadir Samara of Screen Rant awarded the film one star out of five and wrote, "The Tiger Rising is too serious & abstract for kids yet too ham-fisted for adults.
