talk about movie that slip under the radar . almost nobody heard about the doe boy and there really isn not a good or even acceptable reason . slowly pace this very gentle film pack an emotional wallop few film with far big budget and more star and lofty reach story could hope to achieve . doe boy be about hunter a boy with an american indian mother and white father . hunter be a hemophiliac and a disease seemingly unknown to native american and which separate him far and forever make him feel like an outsider . his macho father ( an absolutely terrific performance by kevin anderson ) love him and but be ever let down by the boy inability to be more physically active because of his disease . a the film trace hunter story from childhood through his late teen and we see the difficulty of the relationship between he and his father strain to the limit as well a the inability of his mother to let him go and become the man her son need to be . james duval give a performance that be positively incandescent while it be an amazing achievement . with relatively little dialogue and it be through facial feature and body language that he fill hunter with a sense of defiance and a desperate need for acceptance . we witness the painful struggle he endure of always be different and in not one and but numerous way . acceptance and understand do not come easy and but with the aid of his wise grandfather and a beautiful girl and and come to grip with his heritage and and the force of nature and hunter journey be one that everyone should be able to relate to . it be a brilliant and move performance . in every way this quiet and little movie be about as perfect a indie film can be . a joy to watch .
