Review of Time of the Gypsies

This film is listed on IMDB's Top50 Highest Rated Comedies, but it's actually not a comedy at all. The first 20 mins have funny moments, the rest is like a Greek tragedy, one miserable event after another, human misery and exploitation of the worst kind. Is it well directed? Yes. And beautifully shot. And the actors did a good job. But this is no comedy - it's a heavily dramatic movie, with a very sad story. If you are looking for an actual comedy, like I was, don't waste your time.
