Review of Gossip

Gossip (I) (2000)
7/10
An "only in the movies" type film but at least it's fun
21 September 2022
'Gossip' requires a large suspension of disbelief. It's one of those "It could only work in the movies" things. If that bothers you then this probably isn't the one for you. If you are able to accept those types of scenarios in films however, you might just have a fun time with this one.

This movie has a real late 90s/early 2000s vibe about it. Back then these films were a dime a dozen and they were often quite good. 'Cruel Intentions' and 'Wild Things' were some of the best to come out of that time, but then only a few steps back were films like 'Gossip', that were still very good, but that missing that edge to make them memorable.

I liked this one though. It was only 90 minutes so it never outstayed its welcome. Its characters were either likeable or interesting. The dialogue was quite thoughtful for the most part. And the ending was.... quite something. This isn't must-see material but it's worth a look. 7/10.
