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

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

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

Full Review | Jun 5, 2004

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

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 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

A depressingly predictable journey of self-discovery.

Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/4 | Apr 16, 2004

Where Edge of Seventeen related how difficult it is to be a gay teenager in Middle America, Gypsy 83 wants us to know how painful it is to be a teenage freak in Middle America. Either way you slice it, it's still old news.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Apr 16, 2004

A surprisingly pragmatic take on the joys and perils of diva worship.

| Apr 13, 2004

The story lurches like the characters' beat-up T-bird.
