If you followed my reviews since I began to write them in the summer of 2017, you'd certainly have noticed that I am not the typical movie viewer. In fact I reviewed old movies, TV episodes of shows I love or of which I watch all episodes, modern movies, theater releases and bizarre movies of which nobody has heard except two or three who dare to review them. About bizarre movies, I might have seen various of them such as UNDER THE HULA MOON, SLEEPWALK and MOJAVE MOON and they amazed me for how bizarre they were. But DESERT BLUE is like they put those three movies and mixed them in a blender. Let's see what I mean, shall we?
Skye Davis (Kate Hudson) is a starlet that one day is riding with her dad and they end stranded in a town in the desert where they gradually meet the town's eccentric residents. Some of them are Blue Baxter who is obsessed with tube bombs, athlete Peter Kepler (Casey Affleck), professor Lance Davidson (John Heard) that often discusses about his classes even tho we are in the summer, and Cale who wants to build a water park in the desert because it was his father's dream.
The acting was good by all (Hudson, Affleck, Christina Ricci, Heard, Michael Ironside, Peter Sarsgaard, Aunjanue Ellis and Liev Schreiber) but the reason why I consider this movie strange is because the characters are all unlike others you'd see in other movies, the situations were often bizarre and especially the ending came by surprise, with the river that comes out of nowhere in the desert and then is used as a swimming pool... you just have to see it to believe it!
Highly recommended if you are fans of the odd like me or fans of the cast members and if you are in the right mood you'd end up liking it like I did.
