Eric Roberts is sooooo good looking here... I saw this movie at age 12 and recently saw it again (why wasn't the death of the sister played by Brooke Shields acknowledged/mourned by the mother-no footage of a funeral for her- only for the asswipe father??!!) - @Monday, July 9, 2018 6:25 AM

I am white Irish traveller it is argued among us of our true origin but recent study's suggest we come from India and are most likely roma connected which explains the similarity in features and culture such as curly thick hair darkish skin etc we and the roma however even thoe we share a connection of ancestor are both labelled gypsys due to appearance of our ancestors this film seem to be more about the white mixed gypsy cluture such as my own so I appogise if it offends you but its not white wash as there gypsys who are white and thoses of us who are dark within the movie its all done to misunderstanding of the term gypsy which none us seem to like but if look closely you will notice there are similarity's between the two peoples and there culture - @Tuesday, April 17, 2018 1:52 PM

Gypsies... are known as Roma....Moreover, , not all ( Gypsies ) are bad , steal or fight among them self. Many are educated, famous musicians, actors, and honest God fearing people!!! ....The Bad People are the ones Badmouthing other people because of negative gossip ....SAD!!!! - @Friday, September 23, 2016 11:36 AM

This is the most inaccurate of portrayal of my people and our cultural and co-culturals ever! And why are we White-washed so hard? - @Tuesday, July 19, 2016 12:59 AM

In all fairness to Julia talent isn't exactly always a rewarding art and women have by nature be force to be more pragmatic less she wants to be a gold digger and who can take from her that she knows the business of being on Top. - @Sunday, July 21, 2013 5:36 PM
