Incoherent

This movie was a mess. It had a lot of potential.... family of brothers amid this awful landscape fighting for survival. But the script was simply unintelligible. It had enough plot and story for a 3 hour movie which makes me wonder if this thing got butchered in the editing room. There were leaps in logic and believability that were jaw dropping. Made no sense. I loved some of the characters, a couple of tense scenes, and some beautiful outdoor cinematography. But it was so disappointing.

Way better than expected

Is it a stellar film? No, but it's way better than I expected. Good acting, good action, interesting enough plot, effectively disturbing at times. Some plot holes but solid indy thriller.

What a missed opportunity

First half 8/10 the second half 5/10, it's like one person wrote the first half and someone else wrote the second half, This could of been a very very good movie

A good surprise !

First, I was thinking to a cheap, low-budget, Mad Max-like movie, but I soon discovered that Desolated had its own singularity : that of a futuristic western with epic accents. The plot is good, the acting is excellent, and the stagîng is sumptuous. Some scenes look like Edward Hopper or Andy Wyeth paintings, and it sometimes reminded me of Days of Heaven or The Reflecting Skin, in the way of filmîg lands capes. In a time of movies formatted on the same model, it was a really good surprise to discover a film like this one, original, intense and dramatic. Watch it, you won't waste your time.

Disturbing

Well filmed and acted and a very strange story - where is this meant to be set as I certainly haven't seen this sort of place in the USA and in what year as it seems to be a futuristic movie or just trying to be different.

I must admit I always find movies in which women are used and abused quite disturbing and this one leaves a particularly bad taste in the mouth and does not really have many redeeming features!

I suppose you could say it does illustrate what is going on in the world but it has been done many times before and this film really gives nothing new and although it is well acted the story really goes nowhere - pretty average fair!

Wissenswertes
Desolate is very similar to a film entitled Fast Color, which was released the same year, since both films deal with a prolonged near future drought that is affecting the American heartland. Both films end with rain falling.

Zitate
[first lines]
Billy Stone: [narrating] This land used to be some of the most fertile farmland in the country, though it's hard to believe that now. It's been years since it last rained here. The news called it an "isolated cataclysm" or some shit like that. Means the rest of the world went on living while we were left here to fend for ourselves. Suck the one necessary ingredient for life out of a place, and life seems to leave with it. When the fields dried up and the cattle died, people tried to sell, and the ones who couldn't were left behind. It only took months for us to turn on each other, and, oh, how we did. You can know someone your whole life, but the second it's you, or them, watch how you change.
Billy Stone: There's always been talk of who's to blame. Some people blame the government. Others think God did this to us. But truth be told, we did it to ourselves. We left this land desolate.
