Sometimes grace and hope come in surprising packages. The title character of Hedwig and the Angry Inch, a would-be glam-rock star from East Germany, undergoes a botched gender-change operation in order to escape from the Soviet bloc, only to watch the Berlin Wall come down on TV after being abandoned in a trailer park in middle America. Hedwig gets involved with Tommy, an adolescent boy who steals her songs and becomes a stadium-filling musical act. Suffering from a broken heart and a lust for revenge, Hedwig follows Tommy's tour, playing with her band (the Angry Inch) at tacky theme restaurants. Into this simple storyline, writer-director-star John Cameron Mitchell packs an astonishing mix of sadness, yearning, humor, and kick-ass songs with a little Platonic philosophy tucked inside for good measure. A visually dazzling gem of a movie. --Bret Fetzer |

Delivery? |

I'm sure the product is great but it was never delivered. The delivery address is correct and the delivery status says that is was delivered on December 2nd. It's January 5th and I have yet to see it. Because it was already recorded as delivered I do not know what can be done. Is it possible to see the delivery signature to see if it is anyone's I would recognize? |

Heartfelt interpretation |
|
John Cameron Mitchell is a one-man force of nature here, as actor, director and writer. He'd performed the role many times, but there's a freshness of the futilty of poor Hedwig that can't be denied. As a stage effort, it was slow to gain momentum, and when it was finally established, no one thought it could be done by anyone else. Well, many did, including Ally Sheedy and Sarah Bernhard, and this is all brought out in the extras on the DVD. Mr. Mitchell is in command of this enigmatic, complex character, and one can only sit back in awe of the presentation. Sad, reflective, scorned, hated, abused...it's a character that everyone can identify with. |

The Bottom Line:
Decent, if thoroughly off-the-wall, for the majority of its running length, "Hedwig" flies off the rails in a disappointing conclusion that leaves the viewer with the impression that the filmmakers didn't know where to take their eccentric German transsexual wannabe rocker. |

There's not enough time or space to say how much I love this movie. |
I have probably a dozen different reviews of this movie in various stages of completion on my computer. The problem is that I keep trying to say everything I want to say about it, and there just isn't enough time or space in this world for it all.
I saw Hedwig live many times at the Jane Street Theatre in NYC. I loved her so much there that I refused to see the movie for many years. Not until after I'd seen Shortbus on DVD in the summer of 2008 did I go back and watch Hedwig, to see if it could possibly be as bad as Shortbus was. Not only was it not, it was so GOOD that it made Shortbus even more inexplicable.
I'm not going to go into all the details of why I love Hedwig so much. Stephen Trask's songs are just marvelous, as they always were, and the added movie score is great; John Cameron Mitchell and Michael Pitt are wonderful in the two lead roles (Mitchell's crazed Hedwig dancing and his extreme closeups singing straight into the camera get to me especially; Pitt is perfect as Tommy and does the best lip-syncing ever); and I can't even begin to say what an unbelievably brilliant job Mitchell has done in bringing Hedwig to the screen.
I never imagined I'd say this, but the movie is BETTER than the live show. It's more accessible, human, touching, moving, beautiful, and on and on and on. I watch it over and over, and it gets richer and more fun and more rewarding every time. I'm very grateful to Mitchell, Trask and everybody else involved for creating Hedwig, and then for making her available anywhere, everywhere, forever.
Thank you, guys! You did a good job. |
