Adapted from the hit off-Broadway musical of the same name, Hedwig and the Angry Inch is the tale of an "internationally ignored" rock & roll singer who hails from Communist Berlin and who dreams of becoming an American sensation. Hedwig (John Cameron Mitchell), born a boy named Hansel, is raised by a single mother (Alberta Watson) who wishes to see her son do better than his poverty-stricken family. Some years later, Hansel is attracted to a good-looking American G.I., who promises a better life overseas for young Hansel, under one condition: that he undergo a sex-change operation to become a fully functional female whom he can then marry. The operation is seriously botched, leaving the now-renamed Hedwig with an "angry inch" only to be stranded in a dingy Kansas trailer park on the day the Berlin Wall comes tumbling down. Hedwig then supports herself through a series of ill-fated lounge gigs and side jobs, meeting up with 16-year-old Tommy Gnosis (Michael Pitt), a religious type who befriends her and later steals her songs and becomes the rock star Hedwig always dreamed of being. Undeterred, Hedwig continues to perform in the shadow of Tommy's sold-out stadium tour, attempting to make herself whole in spirit, if not physically. The film features several songs by composer Stephen Trask, who also appears as a member of Hedwig's disinterested rock band; Miriam Shor portrays Hedwig's newfound love and backup singer. ~ Jason Clark, Rovi

Review For Hedwig and the Angry Inch

Those expecting a rockin' good time are likely to be left cold by this screen translation, which despite some imaginative packaging too often proves a drag in more than the sartorial sense.
Dennis Harvey-Variety

Despite the creator/actor/director's energetic efforts, the material never feels comfortable in its new form.
-Time Out

It is fairly short and fairly enjoyable.
Jay Boyar-Orlando Sentinel

Flamboyant, irreverent, naughty and oddly, profoundly moving.
Susan Stark-Detroit News

What in any other hands than Mitchell's might have been a sexual sight gag becomes a symbol of personal freedom and expression.
Terry Lawson-Detroit Free Press

As heartfelt as it is bizarre.
Joe Baltake-Sacramento Bee

[VIDEO ESSAY] "Hedwig and the Angry Inch" is an important cultural touchstone for the LGBT community and a thrilling discovery for everyone.
Cole Smithey-ColeSmithey.com

A ball of gender confusion, Biblical allegories and Eastern European politics -one of those would be a tricky subtext for a 90-minute rock opera. But the songs marry Jim Steinman's grandeur to the Stooges' sweat and spit, with a deft, tender screenplay.
Nick Rogers-Suite101.com

Mitchell's performance as Hedwig remains one of the best of modern times -- the character is by turns sexy, scary, outrageous, obnoxious, pitiable and vulnerable -- and it anchors a movie that landed on my list of the 10 best films of the 2000s.
Matt Brunson-Creative Loafing

One of the most delightful surprises of 2001, and it has lost none of its charm or its surprising power in the intervening years.
Ken Hanke-Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)

Anyone who has ever felt discarded, disenfranchised, or just plain dissed will find in Hedwig a lot to hook into.
Rob Gonsalves-eFilmCritic.com

Definitely recommended for those looking for something different.
Kim Newman-Empire Magazine

Mitchell's successful screen version of his acclaimed play, which feature one of the most original hero(ine), benefits immeasurably from the skills of his producer Christine Vachon and production designer Therese DePrez.
Emanuel Levy-EmanuelLevy.Com

And they said the movie musical was dead.
Ron Wells-Film Threat

What more do you want?
Stephen Himes-Film Snobs

Brilliantly acted, moving, darkly funny, and featuring some terrific songs, this has everything you could possibly want from a transsexual, post-punk, neo glam rock opera.
Matthew Turner-ViewLondon

For all her flamboyance, Hedwig is a poignant and lovable character in Mr. Mitchell's portrayal, and a heck of a lot more interesting than most of the movie heroines we've met this summer.
Margaret A. McGurk-Cincinnati Enquirer

Es imposible no reconocer sus méritos, y la estética lograda vale cualquier recomendación.
Alex Ramirez-Cinenganos

A wonderfully twisted comedy doubling with insightful, moving drama and a collection of original musical numbers to die for.
Kevin N. Laforest-Montreal Film Journal

A colorful, high-energy rock show ... But it also has a poignant side.
Jeffrey Chen-Window to the Movies

It was so visceral and inherently theatrical off Broadway that at first I thought it was a terrible mistake to commit it to film. But, in one of those rare unforseeable happy endings...
Nathaniel Rogers-Film Experience

Moulin Rouge professed to be about love, but Hedwig actually has something to say about it.
Collin Souter-eFilmCritic.com

multitudes seem to be going wild over Hedwig from Sundance to Berlin. Maybe this is the decade of the botched singing sex change. If so, it's nothing to complain about.
Brandon Judell-PopcornQ

For me, too, Mitchell is more affecting as a Dietrich-like chanteuse looking for love; as a rocker he's just one more shouter. But his presence carries this film.
Jeffrey Gantz-Boston Phoenix
