Description:
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
