Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter Arriving more than a few years after author Robert Bly popularized the concept of male self-exploration, this Canadian documentary seems a bit too touchy-feely even for the age of Oprah. Mar 2, 2006 Full Review Ronnie Scheib Variety The tribe's unfailing politeness outside of activities specifically designed to arouse testosterone underlines the suspiciously benign nature of the entire endeavor. Feb 27, 2006 Full Review Noel Murray AV Club Here's what Kohler isn't telling us: The kind of men who'd sign up for a trip like this aren't exactly the kind who'd have trouble opening up, and the kind of men who could afford a trip like this aren't exactly 'regular guys.' Rated: C- Feb 16, 2006 Full Review Donald J. Levit ReelTalk Movie Reviews In the end, unusual setting and all, 'Desert Wind' boils down to recorded group therapy, maybe necessary but awfully awkward to watch. Feb 16, 2006 Full Review Dan Jardine Apollo Guide Rated: 52/100 Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member I liked this movie, although it is mostly just dialogue between the two main characters across a wind-tunnel that spans across two states. Was surprised that Heather Graham was in this movie, but there she is. Worth watching once if you are in the mood for something low key and a little out there, but not too out there. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Great movie! Intriguing story plot. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Read all reviews
