Amazon.com: James Duval shines in this vivid, affecting coming-of-age story. The Doe Boy follows Hunter (Duval)--a half-Native American, half-Caucasian boy with hemophilia--from childhood to his life as a young adult. His father (Kevin Anderson) doesn't know how to relate to a boy who can't work with tools or play sports; his mother (Jeri Arredondo) fights to protect her vulnerable son. When his father finally takes him on a hunting trip, Hunter accidentally shoots a doe--leading to the nickname "doe boy," which haunts him. It's difficult to describe The Doe Boy; a story summary sounds gimmicky and doesn't capture the writing and performances, which are beautifully detailed and bracingly honest. Most importantly, despite not having a propulsive plot, The Doe Boy doesn't drag or meander. In fact, you may want it to slow down so you can spend more time with these characters, whose lives are hurtling by. --Bret Fetzer Average Rating:
 Rating:  - The Doe BoyThe Doe Boy is a wonderful movie of discovery of oneself to be able to accept the tragic cards one is delt in life. The Doe Boy suffers from a small child from illness that kept him from being able to have a normal childhood. His strength and determination is inspirational to all. Rating:  - Wonderful coming of age filmIt's rough growing up in any culture when you're different, especially so in the Cherokees where proving yourself is so critical. And in this story, doing the wrong thing could prove fatal. Hunter (Andrew J. Ferchland as young boy and James Duval as man) is a Cherokee boy with hemophilia. His mother (Jeri Arredondo) wants to shelter him and his Dad (Kevin Anderson) wants to treat him like a regular warrior. That includes learning to hunt deer. When Hunter accidentally ...

Rating:  - Doe Boy falls shortI love NAI movies but I feel this one fell a little short on traditions and connection to the mother earth and it's creatures. I took a chance buying a movie I had never heard about. Rating: - A Right of Passage And A Claim Of IdentityAs a growing boy becomes a young man, an internal change must parallel the outward transformation of the body. In this film, the protagonist finds himself between two worlds that oppose one another. His grandfather offers him a link to cultural traditions that his father doesn't really value. In the midst of this battle of ideas, he must find himself and outgrow childhood trauma. The dissapointments of his father mean to become his own and a weakness in his own body presents a deadly serious trial. ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
