What a pathetic, unoriginal, trying attempt at "uncovering" and "exposing" human sexuality (mind the quotes). The movie unambiguously aims at making its audience uncomfortable, as if this move somehow means we should learn to feel otherwise. But we don't. We're ashamed that people treat sex like a commodity. And that's what the movie ultimately achieves. It makes sex into something sale-able, act-able (this is important: sex is now just like any other action an actor can fake on the stage) and, ultimately, banal. What makes sex more boring than to talk about it again and again and again. And what is even worse than portraying this as if it were "exposing" something? Hedwig was original and great... this is tripe. Shame on you (and take that New England Puritan attitude as far as you want).
