Alicia I love this movie so much

Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

SanEat A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

noralee I went to see "Desert Blue" without having read much about it. I really liked it. It reminded me of the little Austrailian movies that are so quirky and character-driven.It has a very fine cast. Sara Gilbert of Roseanne, ironically, is not playing the TV star who lands in a bit town in the desert, who is played by the more conventionally pretty Kate Hudson; Casey Affleck has brown hair; the ever charming Brendan Sexton III; the always interesting Christina Ricci in mascara mode; John Heard who is becoming like Harvey Keitel in his willingness to be in offbeat projects in addition to mainstream ones.The leisurely pace takes advantage of a terrific set in Nevada and reveals characters onion-like.The soundtrack doesn't use Dave Alvin's "Dry River," but the soundtrack was unusual - in addition to groups like the Candyskins, several of the very lyrically-appropriate songs were written by the scorer Vytas Nagisetty and the auteur Morgan J. Freeman - NOT the actor, but who has made several movies with Sexton.I felt cheated without a final kiss; yeah yeah it's a stereotype but come on, give the audience some dessert. Instead there's a different satisfying ending.(originally written 6/13/1999)

netreturn I found this movie to be okay. The story line was pretty good. The acting was fairly good. It may prove to be a training film for some promising young actors. Being from the east coast, it gave an interesting depiction of what it's like to live in a small, desert town.

Yexx Wholly unoriginal film, can be compared to a hundred different indie flicks. Did have a few bright moments, however... Well-cast and well-acted (for the most part)... The ending is quite terrible, though.

Film_Boy Wow. What a great film. The acting is awesome. The story is original but familiar enough for you to become invested in. The characters are original and quirky in a very real way. The best thing is that, as a teen, I never felt insulted by what I was seeing. Of course, I am not like these people, but I definitely can relate to them and can say I know a few like them. A believable, intriguing film that is both very funny and very dramatic. Go see it.
