DVD Reviews of Hedwig and the Angry Inch (New Line Platinum Series)
DVD Review: Hedwig and the Angry Inch
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of the best movies I have ever seen. I actually rented it and kept it for a week and kept watching it over and over again and finally realised I had to buy it! I've had it for a couple of weeks now and have probably seen it another dozen times. The actor John Cameron Mitchell who plays Hedwig is AMAZING!!! He wrote the songs, sings the songs, directed the film and came up with the original idea of Hedwig. WOW!!! There is something special about this movie-it's like a drug. The songs are catchy and Mitchell has a beautiful voice. I would describe it as an adult, alternative musical/movie. For me, it's sitting right up there with my Sound of Music dvd...I love it THAT much!!!DVD Review: Hedwig is not for the faint of heart!
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this for my husband. He is a man of eclectic taste, and Hedwig is one of his favorite pass-times. I can't say that Hedwig is one of mine, but to each his own. Hedwig is an almost transgender, there is a botched operation. There is also a lot of music, which is humorous and entertaining. Its funny, not clean fun, but funny. DVD Review: Brilliant
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is absolutely brilliant. John Cameron Mitchell is a legend and true artist of our time. Not only did he write and direct this movie, he also stars as a stunning Hedwig. After watching the behind the scenes documentary, that is also included with the dvd, you learn a lot of the main players from the first ever stage performance of Hewig are in the cast. The guitarist in the movie is actually songwriter for the musical book of the play, Stephen Trask. John Cameron Mitchell wrote the original book and screenplay. Their genius is breathtaking. You'll laugh, you'll cry, and you'll want to hug John Cameron Mitchell for being so awesome. And high five him. Truly a great piece of artistic beauty. DVD Review: Simply Brilliant
Summary: 5 Stars
Here's the deal, this movie and soundtrack is AWESOME! For those who expect a "Hollywood" A-lister movie, you wouldn't get this one. It's one of those movies in that every time you watch it, it gets better and better. My advice for those who don't get it is keep watching!! DVD Review: Not much story, but great soundtrack
Summary: 4 Stars
I'm giving this four stars for John Cameron Mitchell, the graphic and animation, the excellent soundtrack, and the overall idea.
I'm leaving out one star because there wasn't really that much to the story.
If the lack of plot doesn't bother you too much, you will probably enjoy the story of the East German wanna-be transsexual Hedwig, the band, the dreary tour of Bilgewater restaurants in the U.S., and the love/hate affair with Tommy Gnosis, who was Hedwig's lover until he stole the latter's songs for his own album and took all the credit.
Description of Hedwig and the Angry Inch (New Line Platinum Series)
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 FetzerGeneral DVDs
