An American drama; A story about a 12-year-old rural American girl who prepares for her first deer hunt. The film which is an interesting coming-of-age tale about tradition in the matriarchy of family. It is a quiet, meditative film oriented on realistic, agreeable human relationships. Despite the lack of interpersonal conflict and the limited point of view, it deals with mourning, resilience, imagination, gender, nature, life and death, balanced against the challenges of taking personal responsibility and coping with change. The performances from the supporting cast are a little rough around the edges. The lead actor is inexperienced, but her raw emotion by coincidence suits the direction, especially when scenes feel semi-improvisatory. The film is in danger of being patience taxing in the long, contemplative scenes, and the plot is weak, but for the most part the film is compelling for letting narrative conventions smoulder in its embers.

Subtle rites of passage tale from a female perspective
Cute Story of Change, Loss And Survival
I really enjoyed this bittersweet drama intermixing a child's coming of age, mourning, resiliency and imagination. There is something very satisfying about how this kid grows up and its a shame nowadays more lives don't develop this way.
Rites of passage from a female perspective
A film which is a credit to the coming-of-age subgenre. A young girl approaching womanhood is eager to undergo the rite-of-passage of her first deer hunt as is the tradition in the matriarchy of her family. A quiet, meditative film that is oriented toward realistic, and agreeable human relationships and lets narrative conventions smoulder in its embers. Despite the relatively low interpersonal conflict it deals with mourning, resiliency and imagination, gender, nature, life and death, balanced against the challenges of taking personal responsibility and coping with change.
