Antwone Fisher (DVD) (Widescreen) (US Version) DVD Region 1

The true story of ANTWONE FISHER tracks a remarkable young man on the path to recovery from physical and sexual abuse. Antwone Fisher (Derek Luke) is a young Navy sailor who is on verge of getting booted from the military because of his volatile temper when he is ordered to mandatory sessions with psychiatrist Dr. Jerome Davenport (Denzel Washington). After a few strained sessions, Fisher navigates through difficult memories of his Cleveland childhood, mostly of life with a vicious foster mother (Novella Nelson) who beats him on a regular basis (and refers to him not by name, but by the n-word) and a foster sister who violates him sexually. Fisher and Davenport form a father-son bond (Fisher even adopts the doctor's wife [Salli Richardson] as a kind of surrogate Mom). And eventually he finds the strength to work through his anger and the courage to forge his first romantic relationship with Cheryl (Joy Bryant). Writer Antwone Fisher, making his screenplay debut, achieves an encouraging view of human nature with this story, and first-time director Washington molds it into a film that ranks with GOOD WILL HUNTING and ORDINARY PEOPLE. Washington demonstrates his ease with actors by drumming up rich emotional intimacy, not without naturally humorous and awkward moments. Vivid, painterly images and the yearning melodies of composer Mychael Danna complete the artistry of the film.

"...[Featuring] a vibrant acting debut by Derek Luke....The young actor has great presence on screen....He makes Antwone's stillness, his sweetness and his violence equally believable and compelling..." - Kenneth, Turan (Los Angeles Times Critic), Los Angeles Times, 12/20/2002

"...As a director Mr. Washington shows a confident grasp of cinematic narrative in a hearty meat-and-potatoes style. But the most remarkable aspect of his behind-the-camera debut is his brilliantly surefooted handling of actors..." - Stephen, Holden (New York Times Critic), New York Times, 12/19/2002

"...Washington the actor puts in a fine performance. But 28-year-old Luke is the star of the show, striking just the right notes in his understated and uplifting performance..." - Claudia, Puig (USA TODAY CRITIC), USA Today, 12/20/2002

"...Truly worthwhile....Washington expertly weaves a matter-of-fact social commentary into an extremely personal story..." - Glenn, Kenny (Premiere/Entertainment Weekly Critic), Premiere, 01/01/2003

"...Intense....Derek Luke's clean, direct performance as Fisher is the real attention-getter..." - Lisa, Schwarzbaum (Entertainment Weekly Critic), Entertainment Weekly, 01/03/2003

...Stately and thought-provoking..." - Guy, Westwell (Sight and Sound Critic), Sight and Sound, 06/01/2003
