Critic Reviews

Premiere Peter Debruge

Films like this have a way of finding their own devoted fan base, and Gypsy 83 deserves to be discovered not only by Goth and gay crowds, but by anyone who runs screaming from all things average. Read full review

Chuck Wilson

Karen Black gives her sharpest performance in years as Bambi LeBleau, a roadside-dive karaoke hostess who invites the kids back to her house for a night of booze and lounge classics. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Ken Fox

Stephens has a gentle touch and an unflagging sense of humor, but this is Rue's show: She's a natural with a million-dollar smile who deserves to escape TV land for more interesting work. Read full review

Walter Addiego

This offering is a mostly undistinguished addition to the long list of films about alienated and self-pitying young people. Read full review

Robert Koehler

Couldn't be less involving and more sentimentalized. Read full review

Jorge Morales

A surprisingly pragmatic take on the joys and perils of diva worship, Gypsy 83 has as many emotional ups and downs as its protagonists' road trip: Emerging love interests threaten to disrupt the delicate goth boy/fag hag balance, only to fade after the glitter. Read full review

Staff (Not credited)

Unfortunately the story lurches like the characters' beat-up T-bird...and the film's rebellious attitude wears thin long before its sentimental denouement. Read full review

We all know deep down in our hearts what Gypsies are capable of. A truly sickening display of avant-garde trash and overweight women in tube-tops (YUCK!). What is even more repulsing are the users who gave this film a score of 10.

There's nothing in this movie to keep you watching. Almost every single character is unbelievable. Its far to melodramatic for whatever it's going for. Not worth your time unless you're into BBWs or guy-on-guy.
