Review of Hedwig and the Angry Inch (2001) by Maximilien K — 12 Feb 2010
So wonderful it's unspeakable. Can't believe I haven't rated this yet. In describing it to people, I usually say something to the effect of, "it's like Rocky Horror but with a hell of a lot more heart.
" Partly true and partly not. A lot of people still need RHPS as a bar for rock-musical films, but Hedwig is on a completely different plane of existence. Hedwig is an incredibly magical piece, and John Cameron Mitchell pours everything he has into this role.
It's beautiful, moving, poignant cinema.
