Gypsy (Sara Rue), a 20-something outcast living in small-town Ohio, has long believed that her mother chose her dream of becoming a singer over her own family. One day, her friend Clive (Kett Turton), a fellow goth, reads about a tribute event dedicated to Gypsy's personal hero, Stevie Nicks, which is scheduled to take place in New York City. They hit the road in hopes of performing for the show, thereby getting their foot in the door of the city's music scene, but there are bumps along the way.

Critics Consensus

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

D+

The film's two main characters are definitely worth knowing, but the movie takes them on a predictable odyssey.

2/4

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

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

B-

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.

poignant indie drama about queer (not just LGBTQ queer) youth on a journey. I have thought about this movie many times over the years, a sure sign of its power. The fact that stars like Karen Black and John Doe make appearances is extra!
