Edge of Seventeen (1998)

[rating=4]
US: 99 min • TLA Releasing • DVD

Starting out in 1984, Edge of Seventeen is a coming-out story set against a time of social and political change.

The film captures the possibility of youth, and the edginess of that conservative decade the 1980s. The tracks by Yazoo, Thompson Twins, and Bronski Beat are for anyone who lived through the era a reminder of how conflicted a time it was.

Gypsy 83

[rating=3]
US: 94 min • TLA Releasing • DVD

Teen angst, self-discovery and homosexuality with a love of Stevie Nicks thrown in.

Even though at times the film gets rather clumsy, jumping from one encounter to the next with often predictable results, it is an engaging film due to some very good performances from the central and supporting cast.
