"Pride Day 14: Alright, I DID say that this list would inevitably get messy and what could be more messy than a cis gay man playing a trans woman in a movie that's very popular in cis drag culture. Hedwig and the Angry Inch is a movie that a lot of older LGBTQ people really like that has, in a lot of ways, not aged well. My personal feelings on this movie are extremely mixed. Hedwig's story itself is incredibly tragic and incredibly off the wall in a way that, while I'm sure there are people that resonate with parts of it I would be surprised if to find anyone with a story that mirrored it. I'm not really sure if this entire break with believability works for or against the movie tbh. Hedwig herself is extremely unlikeable at times, which I do like generally, I think it's nice to have a complex protagonist but I mean Hedwig us REALLY unlikeable. Like she fools around with a minor and threatens to have her immigrant bandmates deported and I can definitely see it being too much. I should probably wrap this up by touching on the music. The music rules. I ******* love the music. I'm a big fan of punk rock and you rarely see this type of punky music in musicals and that honestly kicks ass. So, yeah, mixed bag but if you get something out of it than I think that's pretty cool. I can certainly respect it's place in queer culture and enjoy aspects of it despite my criticisms."

"Great music, better writing than you would expect from a rock musical. Very quotable. The kind of movie you want to watch again."

"I love this. One of my all time favorite musicals"

"honestly one of my favorite movies "

"A whimsically adult, quotable movie musical. Who needs more than love, pain, humor, and glitter?"

"Hedwig: How did some slip of a girly boy from communist East Berlin become the internationally ignored song stylist barely standing before you? Best movie. "
