Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 8, 2005

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.

| Original Score: B- | Oct 15, 2004

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

Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/5 | Sep 23, 2004

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

| Original Score: C- | Sep 12, 2004

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

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Sep 10, 2004

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

| Original Score: D+ | Sep 9, 2004

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

| Aug 8, 2004

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

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jul 16, 2004

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

| Jun 17, 2004

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.

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 21, 2004

Despite a thin script, Gypsy boasts moments of charm, mostly due to its appealing leads.

| Original Score: B- | May 21, 2004

Non-core audience viewers will be reminded why we didn't hang out with people like this in high school.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | May 21, 2004

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

| May 20, 2004

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.

| Apr 27, 2004

Deserves to be discovered not only by Goth and gay crowds, but by anyone who runs screaming from all things average.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Apr 20, 2004

[A] touching tale.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Apr 16, 2004

The narrative momentum may sputter, but the vivid performances keep the film from dragging.

Full Review | Apr 16, 2004

A tiny, vulnerable, rather treacly film at heart, one that would probably float away were it not for Ms. Rue's generous presence.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 16, 2004

It's easy to pick apart Stephens' thin script and clumsy direction. But whether you were a high school outcast or the prom queen, you're bound to root for his misfits as they find their place in the world.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Apr 16, 2004
