As a music document and as a labor of unabashed love, the nonfiction feature Gypsy Caravan could hardly be better; as a movie, it could stand some improvement.

Reviews for Gypsy Caravan
Gypsy Caravan avoids any serious discussion of the social issues that confront the world's 10 million Roma. Unfortunately, the well-intentioned film never gets beyond clichés itself.

A natural follow-up to Dellal's debut, American Gypsy: A Stranger In Everybody's Land, this exuberant film features long musical interludes that speak as vividly -- if not more so -- than the interviews and fly-on-the-wall footage.

It's a two-hour movie, and I'm only sorry it isn't two or three times as long. Let me read your thoughts: You're not much interested in Gypsy music, and the historical and cultural stuff might be pretty dry. That's what I thought too: Wrong and wrong.

Top CriticEveryone is having so much fun, one would really like to be a part of it. But the performance sequences are too jaggedly truncated to pull us in entirely.

Top CriticThere's material to discover about the Gypsies in this laudable attempt, but the film is long, repetitious, and not selectively enough edited.

Superb documentary on gypsy musicians in the spirit of "Buena Vista Social Club"

An irresistibly vibrant concert-tour documentary by Jasmine Dellal.

Top CriticMore than a vibrant experiment in ethnomusical cross-pollination, it's just great fun, tempered by loss but rippling with gusto.

Top CriticAn entertaining and edifying documentary about the music and lives of a group of gypsy performers from four countries on an international concert tour.

Music is the conduit for repudiating stereotypes and fostering cultural unity in Gypsy Caravan.
