Rachie is "meh" onHedwig and the Angry InchI liked the second half better than the first- the structure of going back and fourth between singing and narration was a little drab for me. I admittedly have a pretty hard time with musicals in the first place.. I didn’t think the soundtrack was that great. It is a fun film but just didn’t really…
Amy T is "meh" onHedwig and the Angry InchIt’s not my cup of tea but it’s tells the story of Hedwig with also music. Kinda confusing in the beginning but a great movie for the LGBTQIA+ community.

Certainly not everyone’s cup of tea, but style-wise this is a very unique culture film. Holds a place in LGBTQIA+ cinema history undoubtedly.

Boston Globe
There's some kind of pulse of sincerity beating below the glittering surface, and it may come from Mitchell's own life story.
Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times
The sight of Hedwig and his band transforming a trashy trailer into a glitter-rock stage during Wig in a Box was so exhilarating I almost leapt out of my seat. The movie is pure theater, as it should be.
