Memorable little story carried by Jon Voight.

Rating: B --
This sensitive coming-of-age tale is framed by the narration of its grown-up protagonist, recalling her childhood in the 1950s, an era defined by the A-Bomb and the culture it created.

Desert Bloom contains the material for a very good film and it certainly contains the performances, but it moves in too many directions and contains too many issues.

I don't know whether it is this marketplace reality, or a general lack of human understanding, that made so beautiful a film as Desert Bloom into such an ultimately disappointing experience.

Manages to make clear that certain children possess the resiliency to handle the stress and pain of a troubled home.

Now, it's fine for a movie to be earnest, and Julio Gallo, for that matter, but it does make "Desert Bloom" rather a slog.

a drama that stays with you; a good companion piece with "Blue Sky"

Description by OLDIES.com:
Volatile war veteran Jack Chismore (Jon Voight) is fighting to overcome his personal demons while holding his family together. His wife Lily (JoBeth Williams) is torn between the needs of her family and a secret vice that threatens the very foundation of her marriage. Their daughter Rose (Annabeth Gish), a delicate girl on the threshold of adolescence, is struggling to understand the adults surrounding her. Into this turbulent household comes Lily's sister Starr (Ellen Barkin), a sexy divorcée who becomes the unwitting catalyst in an explosive chain reaction that rocks the Chismore family as surely -- and irrevocably -- as the A-bomb testing in the nearby desert.
