Summary: The Best Film Ever Made-No Question
Review: I drove to West Hollywood in the summer of 2001 to see 'Hedwig and the Angry Inch' on the big screen. I was discovering indie films for the first time and upon reading a review of 'Hedwig', I knew I had to see it. The film was good, no question, but in no way did it have any deep impact on me. I liked it enough to buy the soundtrack and listened to it quite often. Soon, I knew all the words to the brilliant songs by Stephen Trask, and with a second viewing of 'Hedwig' on DVD, it became my favorite film...the songs are absolutely phenomenal, Trask is one of the most talented songwriters I have ever had the pleasure of hearing...John Cameron Mitchell is exceptional in his role of Hedwig, and does an awesome job directing...the story of 'Hedwig' touched me like no other, and I still shed a tear upon each viewing..."Hedwig and the Angry Inch" is an amazing film, and my day is not complete without a viewing...in my opinion, this is THE best film ever made...a heartwarming, feel great film worth seeing over and over...I finally showed it to my 13-year old sister and she loved it...Trask and Mitchell are amazing...Hedwig Rocks!!!

Summary: "Deny me and be doomed"
Review: Mitchell's movie pioneers a new cultural and artistic aesthetic. From her costumes to her music to her gender, Hedwig shatters traditional concepts of art, music, and sexuality. Indeed, to deny this film and the perspective it represents is to doom oneself to antiquted, parochial retrospection.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Knocked my sox off!
Review: This movie grabs you right away and doesn't let go until it's all over. You have to love Hedwig. Her story is tragic but she's not going to let that get her down. This is one sassy, brassy character. Jon Cameron Mitchell walks the fine line between outrageous and touching with grace and style. He makes Hedwig a believable human being. The music is great and the animation is really good too. This is entertainment with heart!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One Of The Best Films Period!
Review: Hewdwig and the Angry Inch is the most purest and inventive creations to come out of one vision since the hayday of the musical. Hewdig should not be missed by anyone who has ever dreamed or has any kind of emotions. The story is simple a sad life plays out through song but its the pure drama and ambition of John Cameron Mitchell as the erotic hedwig and his traveling minions that give Hedwig it's Wizard of Oz grandiose! The scecne of a love struck Hedwig being led to a moment of passion by her lover only to be crushed when he finds the true her is amazing! Clothes and a broken pathway guide the scene as they make their way to an open door to tears and heartache. Another key element is the songs-well crafted and genius flooding with true emtion teh songs hav eto be purchased as the soundtrack! The melody alone could give the Beatles a run for their money. Hedwig needs to be enjoyed by anyone with a heart I hope you love it!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I love HEDWIG!!!
Review: This was a great movie and a brilliant DVD. If you don't take the opportunity to see it, you are a cinematic idiot and i feel sorry for you. Soundtrack is amazing, the artwork and costuming are fabulous, and the storyline is straighforward and moving. This is one of the best movies ever and is straight up your alley if you like films like "Rocky Horror Picture Show." Go see this movie!!!!!

Rating: 5 stars

Packed with incredible words-music and visual art!!! If this film doesn't get nominated for something during Oscar time -it will be a disgrace to Movie Arts and Sciences!!!!!! This is a must see and must BUY film!!!!! BRAVO JOHN CAMERON MITCHELL!!!!!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: PURE ART
Review: The First reviewer covered it all.
A film that will live with you for a long, long time.
Beautiful, funny, fantastic music, an incredible realized herione/hero and a narrative line that touches the soul. If Mitchell doesn't get at least an Oscar nod for his performance then it is abundantly clear that the Hollywood powers that be wouldn't know true Art if it you-know-what -- on their face! I could go on forever but its all been said. Just see it.
Thank you John Cameron Mitchell for creating Hedwig.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent DVD
Review: I loved this movie from the moment the opening chords played in the theater. Excellent music, wonderful writing, truly inspired acting, and a production design that was exactly right in every single scene. I won't take the time giving a synopsis, since so many others have done it better than I could. I do have to say that the documentary "Whether You Like It Or Not" is wonderful and is a great addition for all the Hed-heads out there. Most "making of" documentaries give a few token interviews and the director speaking over some behind the scenes footage. This one, however begins at the moment John Cameron Mitchell met Stephen Trask and ends after the awards were won at Sundance. The film is great, the documentary is just as good, and I love watching the select-a-song each morning as I get ready for work. GO NOW and get HED(wig)!
