Gypo

An engrossing and award winning drama following the dramatic events in the lives of one working class family when one of them befriends a refugee girl. Three very different but equally fascinating views of the same sequence of events are revealed as we see the impact of the friendship between hard working young Czech refugee Tasha and the down trodden but ever optimistic Helen. The triptych takes us through events through the eyes of Tasha, Helen and Helen's husband Paul. Compellingly realistic and critically acclaimed with riveting performances, Gypo deals with contemporary themes in an original and striking way. Essential viewing.

  The structure of the movie wasn't good at all.
  
  I give the 2 stars because it was good acting, but the movie keeps going to different times of the same story( back to front...front to back). I got lost and in... read more »
