The film follows the story of Duncan, a fourteen-year-old misfit farm boy trying to fill the void and alleviate the numbness left by his mother's passing. Unable to let her go quite yet, Duncan mimics his dead mother. He talks in her voice at the dinner table and wears her fur coat to bed. Edgar, Duncan's distant sixty-year-old father, doesn't understand the strange manifestations of his son's mourning. Why can't Duncan grieve like a normal person? Macho mate Perry Foley, who has it physically even harder on his dad's farm, usually comforts Duncan and defends his 'wimpiness' to their cocky ruffian mates Travis, Scotty and Brent. But although clearly attracted to gentle Duncan himself, the socially unacceptable suggestion of 'sissy' homosexuality makes Perry over-react and turn on his friend.
Leave your thoughts about The Mudge Boy.
| New York PostMegan LehmannOffers an idyllic, comforting surface of tree-shaded lanes and sunshine-dappled fields - but a disturbing tale throbs beneath. |
| Internet ReviewsSteve RhodesTender, touching and tragic ... it's also rewarding and redemptive. |
| San Diego Union-TribuneDavid ElliottYou can hardly fault the details, the resonant silences, the sudden gushers of pent-up feeling. |
| San Francisco ChronicleRuthe SteinA little picture -- the names of the entire cast would fit on half a sheet of paper -- but it’s more heartfelt than movies with 50 times the budget. |
| TheMovieChicks.comCherryl Dawson and Leigh Ann PaloneIt may seem like just another movie about a boy and his father and the chicken that comes between them, but there's a heart-touching story underneath all the feathers. |
| Dallas Morning NewsMatt WeitzCondescending tone ... contrivance ... and cliché. |
| Seattle Post-IntelligencerWilliam ArnoldIts sex is brutal, its depiction of human nature is crude and pessimistic, and its climax -- which involves animal mutilation -- is enough to ruin your whole week. |
| Film ThreatMerle BertrandA film that's every bit as odd, unique, and unnerving as its title character. |
| Hollywood ReporterDuane ByrgeIt is both piercingly insightful and kindhearted. |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekThe seriousness is too often undercut by plot turns that are unintentionally risible...Hirsch and Jenkins are certainly the chief reasons to see it. |
