You won't be disappointed!

I have absolutely never seen anything like this movie before. You have to see this movie.

The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.

One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

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)

An "OK" movie. It's watchable, especially young people seem to like it. But see "Tex", with Matt Dillon, instead. That was a movie that actually captured bored youth at their best and worst. The ending of "Desert Blue"gives me the impression that they didn't know how to end the film! Too bad... And Christina Ricci's character was overplayed. Sorry, not believeable to me, but teens like her "antics", and why not. But when you get older, you'll know what bad acting (or scripting) really is when you see it.Also, am I crazy, or are the first 2 "anonymous" reviews from march 1999 too good to be true? In other words, "nice try, whoever-you-are-that-is-connected-with-the-making-of-this-film-and-want-to-p romote-it!"...

I've recently seen this movie on TV and I remembered to comment it for IMDb. The movie has a good story and is very well conducted by this Morgan Freeman, the cast is also great: Christina Ricci and some brothers of great stars (Richmond Arquette is one of the Arquette Brother, Casey Affleck, younger brother of Ben Affleck) that also act great, although not as well as they expert brothers and sisters. Kate Hudson's character, Skye, is very interesting and she had a great start and she liked her teammates so much that she (she meet Casey Affleck and Christina Ricci again in "200 cigarettes"). The funniest scenes of the movies are the blasts, and the most touching is the water running in the end. This movie may be forgotten in a couple of years, but I know that everyone that as an almost impossible dream like the sea in the desert will remember this story after achieving that dream.

It took awhile to get going, but I ended up loving "Desert Blue" quite a bit. It was nice to see Sexton play a character without the need for anger-management, and I also liked Kate Hudson also. It wasn't the greatest, funniest or most touching movie I ever saw, but it was certainly better than most. I liked practically every character on some level, and I can't say that about a lot of movies. It made me think of "What's Eating Gilbert Grape" & "Bagdad Cafe" with a touch of "Firestarter".
