The story of Hedwig, a German transsexual rock star trying to find love and fame in America. A rude, raucous and unapologetic film that tackles issues of love and identity head on with nary a blink or moment's hesitation. The acting is first rate, especially John Mitchell's powerhouse performance, and the music rocks.Score: 7 out of 10 - MrMoviePicker
Those looking for something completely different will be hard-pressed to find an American film which satisfies that quest better than this transgender rock-and-roll musical.
Hedwig comments on a wide range of topics, from the cold war to music industry rivalries to homoeroticism in the military. It also boasts one of the most phenomenal central performances this reviewer has ever seen--and might be worth viewing for that alone.the internationally ignored song stylist barely standing before you - clauditorium
"How did some slip of a girly boy from communist East Berlin become the internationally ignored song stylist barely standing before you?"
A rock and roll singer tells her colourful story via songs.
For a rock musical about a drag queen, this movie feels surprisingly effortless. And the songs are awesome. I felt a bit of an emotional disconnect from the material, however.
