This movie, Desert hearts, is a love story of hurting hearts and hope growing. It shows both sides of the picture, the love and friendship of others accepting of a person no matter what and the typical hatred for someone being different. There is no violence whatsoever, which is refreshing. And there are no mind games played which is typical in a great deal of alternative lifestyle stories. It shows honest struggle with feelings that have never been known before. The characters selected for their roles were perfect, everyone seems quite natural and real with each other. It appears that Helen Shaver seems quite rigid in her role, but she truly portrays the clash of her proper orderly world to the new sunrise in her life. Just a slow (like a slow dance) but beautiful telling of a tale of two very different women meeting as it makes you want them to allow their hearts to feel the joy. Quiet rooting for them is allowed in this movie!
