Lisa Schwarzbaum is a film critic for EW
John Cameron Mitchell directs and stars as a fabulously wigged, lonely transsexual and internationally ignored rock goddess in Hedwig and the Angry Inch, the riotous, loving, and only occasionally pathos-milking film adaptation of his own acclaimed Off Broadway rock musical. Mitchell has done the damn difficult thing of giving a staged work a look that honors the original medium while recognizing that movies are a whole other shebang. Among the fine costars, Miriam Shor, with a pasted-on beard, stands out as Hedwig's underappreciated husband.
