2 stars because it was done well. But absolutely nothing is explained or makes sense. A waste of an hour and 40 minutes. It’s also extremely long and boring despite a decent runtime.

A Desert aims to be primarily character and event driven, and while uneven with both, it's just original enough to recommend.

This film definitely leaves a stamp on the soul. Several reviewers have complained that it is ‘murky’ or ‘bewildering.’ But this is the kind of film that I really appreciate. No easy answers, much left unsaid and unshown. But I see this as quite a strong point of the storytelling. There is more than enough plot framework and character development here. A sense of place resonates with increasing dread as the story unfolds. The ‘loose ends’ are far more intriguing and satisfying to me than a film that spells everything out and spoon feeds the viewer. If you enjoy David Lynch’s work (and I do) you will see quite a lot of him here - particularly ‘Lost Highway.’ This is a tense, horrifying, mystifying film - bold and dark, unsettling, sure-footed and grimly brilliant.
