Top CriticThe performances by this Young Hollywood set are nothing short of ordinary, and cameos from vets Olmos and Bogosian are downright embarrassing.
01/01/00
Top CriticIts charms, such as they are, are all on the surface -- beautiful faces, beautiful clothes, deluxe interiors and lots of breaking glass -- while its story makes no sense whatsoever.
01/01/00
Gossip shifts, so awkwardly you can feel the gears grinding, into mystery/thriller.
01/01/00
Gossip suits its title. It's exaggerated, untrustworthy and annoyingly hard to ignore.
01/01/00
Screenwriters Gregory Poirier and Theresa Rebeck elevate the drama above and beyond its trivial nature with some decent dialogue and some nifty misdirection.
01/01/00
There's plenty of cynical, leering interaction between young men and women, presented with irritatingly loud background music that fails to obscure the movie's essential lack of substance.
01/01/00
Gossip is just unbelievable.
01/01/00
The movie's problems begin at the beginning.
01/01/00
The movie has some compelling ideas about truth and how rumors take on lives of their own.
01/01/00
Gossip simply feels like a rush job that never should have been made with the script in hand.
01/01/00
The movie feels longer than its 90 minutes.
01/01/00
[The] complex seeming premise of Gossip is simple and clever in its presentation and development.

01/01/00
A cast of impossibly attractive actors, extravagant, fantasyland art direction and an insanely contrived plot.
01/01/00
Its jagged and cynical undertone is a cut above typically banal teen fare.
01/01/00
Has many intriguing elements that might have equaled up to more in a tighter screenplay, but it ultimately doesn't satisfy once the end credits have begun to roll.

Some movies descend into ridiculousness. Gossip starts out there and just gets worse.
