Synopsis

Derrick, Cathy, and Travis, three students and fellow roommates, decide to do a class project on gossip. Derrick witnesses couple Naomi and Beau making out at a night club, but then she passes out and Beau leaves. Cathy spreads the rumor that well-known ice princess Naomi had sex with Beau at the club that night, which quickly evolves until the gossip mill is saying that Beau went ahead and had sex with Naomi after she passed out. Cathy has regrets when Naomi cries rape and Beau is being arrested.

Critics' reviews

"A taut second half in which the plot turns back on itself in some surprising twists makes up for the lethargic first half."

Jeff Strickler: Minneapolis Star Tribune
"All style and no substance."

Rick Groen: The Globe and Mail
"I really got into this film. If I hadn't, maybe the ending wouldn't have annoyed me so much (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"

Roger Ebert: Chicago Sun-Times
"Gossip is a remarkably accurate title for a glossy, shallow thriller where not a single scene rings true."

Lou Lumenick: New York Post
"The pseudo-philosophical questions posed here are merely excuses to get a bunch of attractive young people to engage in sex, violence and the mass consumption of alcohol."

Monica Eng: Chicago Tribune
