Easily One of the Best films of the Year

Rating: Null/10 (21 August 2001)

I have just come back from my third viewing of Hedwig, and I seriously dig this movie! I still got chills at the end and felt as moved as I did the first time I saw it. I think Hewdig gives validation to so many struggles, The Rock Band Struggle, the Drag Queen struggle, the Trannie Struggle, the struggle of love, the struggle of making it in a world that tells you to f**k off all the time. Hedwig is (to me) about not giving up. Believing when nobody else does, and accepting what is and moving on. John Cameron Mitchell is a hero, a magnificent writer and a 'Diva' to behold.
