Plot hole: It's never explained why Frances Parker would be upset about Cay pursuing Vivian. She knows she's gay, but we're never told why she's mad.
Desert Hearts (1985)
1 plot hole
Directed by: Donna Deitch
Starring: Helen Shaver, Audra Lindley, Andra Akers, Patricia Charbonneau
Other mistake: During the epic love scene between Helen Shaver and Patricia Charbonneau, look carefully at a closeup shot as Patricia kisses Helen. Parts of each one's hair is inexplicably wet and they haven't been fooling around long enough to sweat.
Cay: Take your hands out of your pockets and come here.
Trivia: Ilene Chaiken, creator of The L Word, has praised this movie. She's said it's the best one of its genre and even had her show's cast watch it prior to making their TV show.
