Raised a boy in East Berlin, Hedwig undergoes a personal transformation in order to emigrate to the U.S., where she reinvents herself as an “internationally ignored” but divinely talented rock diva, inhabiting a “beautiful gender of one.”

So much average

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

I loved this film. I really loved this film. In fact it is in my top 5 and I don't even like musicals. Somehow I resisted the urge in Blockbusters to rent it on its original release but something about the cover and blurb intrigued me. Fast forward 18 years and I righted that wrong. It is a compelling watch from start to finish. The songs actually help tell the story as do the short animated sequences. This film is so many things. It is genuinely moving, I actually cried at the end, something I never do at films. It explores interesting themes of identity, sexuality, self awareness and love with such a light touch that you don't feel it is a vehicle for a polemic. I have listened to the songs on Spotify since and they are much stronger than I originally thought on first listen via our oldish TV. This film feels incredibly fresh and original. It is also beautifully acted and shot.

I was first exposed to this movie when I was 18 or 19 and a friend happened to pop it in while we were hanging out. I can safely say that this movie changed my life. If you hate musicals, like myself, then this is the musical for you. So creative and so original. This is one of the movies I watch pretty frequently and will always share with others.The best way I can describe this movie is: The life and love of a trans-gendered, German, punk-rock star that tries to become famous.If you're thinking about watching this movie, just do it. You won't regret it.

Hedwig And The Angry Inch is an amazing film. It's fun but it's not afraid to make you feel for the characters and their world. Hedwig is a great character and one of my own personal idols. The music is also very memorable and beautiful. I did "Wig In A Box" on the piano at one of my recitals and everyone loved it. I strongly recommend you watch this movie regardless if you're part of the LGBT community. The LGBT moments aren't that focused on as you would believe. It's central is how Hedwig is trying to get back at her EX and finding her other half. This movie is fun, sad, and memorable. Hedwig And The Angry Inch is an unforgettable journey of what it really means to love and be human.

I have to say, John Cameron Mitchell looked absolutely stunning as a drag queen and boy he really has the voice! Why hasn't the guy got a record deal? God someone should hire him on!Anyways, I found the storyline really all over the place. I didn't understand on what does happen among the characters or what they are actually saying in order for me to understand. It really was frustrating to think of how I was gonna understand this but I think the whole story was just confusing me! I mean like it would've been better if they tweaked the storyline a little bit then I would've give this entire movie 10 stars!I would suggest people to watch this film but I would say, yeah but it will be hard to understand but listen for the music just!
