Gypsy 83

The film's two main characters are definitely worth knowing, but the movie takes them on a predictable odyssey.

A mostly undistinguished addition to the long list of films about alienated and self-pitying young people.

The film's main appeal stems from the two main characters, whose close relationship is well-conveyed and moving.

It is clear that as a filmmaker Todd Stephens, like his heroes and heroines, is determined to be true to himself.

Eventually turns into pathos-clogged sludge, but before that, features a string of shrewdly observed encounters.

Saga is especially sapped of its appeal and energy by the toxically charmless titular character whose central obsession -- dressing up like Stevie Nicks and singing her material -- is curiously wedged between comedy and oddity.

The true joy of this indie stems from the well observed friendship between Gypsy and her Goth plaything, Clive. The chemistry between the two young actors is near-wondrous.

By the end, you'll wish to never see another flowing scarf or hear another Fleetwood Mac song ever again.

Plenty of melodrama but precious little truthfulness...a very provincial item that probably shouldn't have ventured across the state line.

This is not a great movie, but it has some nice moments. It shows Goth kids need love too.

A road movie where the audience is a little skittish about going there.

[C]aptivating and pointed and... will hit disquietingly close to home to many who avow to being comfortable in their nonconformity...
