Consensus: This coming-of-age story of alienated youth is too familiar.

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

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

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

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

Eventually turns into pathos-clogged sludge, but before that, features a string of shrewdly observed encounters.
05/20/04
A tiny, vulnerable, rather treacly film at heart, one that would probably float away were it not for Ms. Rue's generous presence.

Top CriticIt'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.

The film's main appeal stems from the two main characters, whose close relationship is well-conveyed and moving.
06/05/04
Plenty of melodrama but precious little truthfulness...a very provincial item that probably shouldn't have ventured across the state line.
09/12/04
A road movie where the audience is a little skittish about going there.

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.

Top CriticStarts off strongly but becomes a bit overly morose.
09/24/03
A surprisingly pragmatic take on the joys and perils of diva worship.
04/13/04
[A] touching tale.
04/16/04
It is clear that as a filmmaker Todd Stephens, like his heroes and heroines, is determined to be true to himself.
05/21/04
Top CriticThe narrative momentum may sputter, but the vivid performances keep the film from dragging.
04/16/04
Top CriticA depressingly predictable journey of self-discovery.
