One of the best films ever

Rating: 10/10 (4 November 2006)

The main character gets all of life's junk thrown at her, and she never whines about it. That doesn't sound to articulate, but it feels as though most modern "feelings" movies have the main characters whine a whole lot which make them less likable. Nobody likes a cry-baby, and Hedwig is definitely not one. In addition to that, the music is incredible, the acting is great, and the dialogue creates enough interest and a good enough pace to propel the movie through over 10 years without leaving the audience feeling that anything important was left out. A good movie to watch but you have to be in the mood for something weird and with the right crowd (definitely not appropriate for children).
