... this is an astonishingly polished and nuanced first film. It deserves to be celebrated, not quibbled with.

Desert Hearts was an important, and beautiful, first step toward a movie world where LGBTQ couples were allowed unapologetically to be themselves.

Rating: 3.5/4 --
The story is not sensationalistic, although its love scene could not be more emotional. It`s a gentle story of someone being brought in from the cold.

I might have enjoyed Desert Hearts more if it had been more subtle and observant about the two women... And yet Desert Hearts has undeniable power.
