Average Rating:
 Rating:  - fabulousIt isn't hard to see why this is a classic amongst lesbians the world over. One of the first (if not the first?) to have a relatively happy ending for the couple and show a love scene between two women. The story is passionate and realistic in the emotions of fear, longing, love and confusion that are felt by Cay and Vivian. Beautifully filmed with one of the best soundtracks ever - if you like (old) country music! I can't sing enough praises and I've already watched it about 3/4times in the space of a couple of weeks. Rating: - Only a review of the serviceSorry, I can't give you a review of the content, but the delivery was exactly as promised - prompt and appropriately packaged. Thanks a mill Rating:  - Clearly AmericanIf you are one who enjoys an American movie at snails pace this is a film for you. Personally I would give it a miss. The main characters are far from believable or credible. There is no chemistry there whatsoever but we are expected to believe that the professor who hitherto has regarded herself as a conventional married heterosexual suddenly winds up in bed with our other 'heroine' of the sorry piece. For a decent film showing any ounce of understanding as to what it is to be lesbian, any attempt at a storyline and a film with something worthwhile to say at many levels try the Indian director, Deepa Mehta, and her film 'Fire'. As a lesbian myself I found "Desert Hearts" just a bit too bland, superficial and purile. Rating: - A ClassicI first saw this film years ago and was delighted when my partner bought it for me. An absolute must for your film collection. The characters were believable, the story line tastefully written. The love scene reflected mixed emotions ranging from innocence to passion and the ending was extremely appropriate. BUY IT GIRLS !!! Rating: - A timeless classicDesert Hearts is one of those movies I'll watch again and again. It's a romance, pure and simple. The fact the two lovers are both women who come together in the social climate of the late 50's makes it all the more poignant. The two leads develop naturally throughout, and all the characters are three-dimensional, with believable emotions and interaction with each other. Helen Shaver gives a wonderful portayal of maturity as Vivian, the older woman escaping a stale, loveless relationship to find a new life beginning in Reno, Nevada. Patricia Charbonneau as Cay is in excellent form in her first major role, showing the younger woman's determination to find her own path, no matter what the world thinks of her choice. The scene where they make ... Read More: |
