Wonderful Piece of Work

Rating: 9/10 (10 July 2006)

This movie was a superb example of what the mainstream media is scared of. It features a cross-dressing glam rock princess who has never gotten over her past, especially her latest scar, the ex-boyfriend who stole her music. I saw it on IFC at around 11 and was immediately hooked even though I had only turned on the television to keep me company while doing the dishes. After the first 5 minutes, I rushed through the last dishes to sit down and better hear the dialogue. This film was very well scripted, not to mention the catchy and equally heart wrenching lyrics. As soon as the credits rolled around, I wrote down the information where I could find the soundtrack. This film was rather and might I say with a title like Hedwig and the Angry Inch, surprisingly good. I completely recommend it to anyone looking for a good movie, excellent script, awesome actors, strange premise and a soundtrack that won't make you cringe.
