Consensus: This coming-of-age story of alienated youth is too familiar.
Synopsis: Two misfit Goths, dressed head-to-toe in black velvet… Gypsy-25, stunning but chronically overweight. She wraps herself in shawls and sequins just like her lifelong idol, rock goddess Stevie... [More]

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.
09/23/04
Plenty of melodrama but precious little truthfulness...a very provincial item that probably shouldn't have ventured across the state line.
09/12/04
This is not a great movie, but it has some nice moments. It shows Goth kids need love too.
09/10/04
The film's two main characters are definitely worth knowing, but the movie takes them on a predictable odyssey.
09/09/04
A road movie where the audience is a little skittish about going there.
08/08/04
A mostly undistinguished addition to the long list of films about alienated and self-pitying young people.
07/16/04
[C]aptivating and pointed and... will hit disquietingly close to home to many who avow to being comfortable in their nonconformity...
06/17/04
The film's main appeal stems from the two main characters, whose close relationship is well-conveyed and moving.
06/05/04
It is clear that as a filmmaker Todd Stephens, like his heroes and heroines, is determined to be true to himself.

Top CriticDespite a thin script, Gypsy boasts moments of charm, mostly due to its appealing leads.
05/21/04
Non-core audience viewers will be reminded why we didn't hang out with people like this in high school.
05/21/04
Eventually turns into pathos-clogged sludge, but before that, features a string of shrewdly observed encounters.
05/20/04
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.
04/27/04
Top CriticDeserves to be discovered not only by Goth and gay crowds, but by anyone who runs screaming from all things average.
04/20/04
[A] touching tale.
04/16/04
The narrative momentum may sputter, but the vivid performances keep the film from dragging.
04/16/04
A tiny, vulnerable, rather treacly film at heart, one that would probably float away were it not for Ms. Rue's generous presence.
