Needless to say, a lot of unresolved issues rise from hibernation during this rural weekend, but the characters, situations and dialogue too seldom escape cliche in Gabriel Cowan's watchable but unmemorable feature.

The Hollywood Reporter

The film features three gifted actors -- Wes Bentley, Amber Tamblyn and Vincent Piazza -- doing their best to animate a very stale script.

If the aim of the picture is to trigger introspection in an audience about the consequences of the choices one makes in life, then bull's eye!

Rated: 3/4

Watchable, but nowhere near as deep as it wants you to think it is.

What I got to say about "3 Nights in the Desert" is that it's a good independent movie. "It has moments that are hysterically funny with the humor and will engage you as well." The performances by the cast is so compelling. "Amber Tamblyn, Vincent Piazza, and Wes Bentley are gifted actors that really know to bring the characters to life in a believable way." The directing by Gabriel Cowan is good. The screenplay by Adam Chanzit is a well written with great character development. The cinematography is good. Finally, the score is good as well. "I have to report that "3 Nights in the Desert" is surprisingly a good movie to watch."

Complete waste of time. The story goes nowhere and is not engaging at all. They tried to make it a deep study of people and relationships, but it is not deep or insightful.
