A transphobic diatribe.

Rating: 8/10 (15 April 2003)

Although I did enjoy the music in this movie and the fact that Hedwig was a sympathetic character (a rarity in transgendered characters), I am deeply troubled by its overall message. Hedwig and the Angry Inch seems to be preaching the tired old myth that transsexuals are just gay men who are in deep denial about their sexual orientation and can only accept their attraction to men in the context of their self-identifying as women.
