Info

From the rains of Japan, through threats of arrest for 'public indecency' in Canada, and a birthday tribute to her father in Detroit, this documentary follows Madonna on her 1990 'Blond Ambition' concert tour. Filmed in black and white, with the concert pieces in glittering MTV color, it is an intimate look at the work of the icon, from a prayer circle before each performance to bed games with the dance troupe afterwards.

Madonna: Truth or Dare Audience Reviews

MoPoshy Absolutely brilliant
BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
jovana-13676 I watched this when it came out and I was 12. I couldn't stop laughing! But through all these scandalous moments, gossip and celebrity, there's a great lesson in there about the artistic integrity. Madonna reads her manifesto! She single-handedly starts a sexual revolution with her gay dancers! What more could you want? My favorite scene is when she has a sore throat and visits her doctor with Warren Beatty.
jdmxrain From the very first second that this documentary starts Madonna is full of her own ego. She is very self-centered from the get-go. Watching this documentary I understand why none of her relationships in life last very long. And I mean more than just romantic relationships, she's had a lot of broken friendships. Anyway after 7 minutes of watching it, I decided to skip around to the Warren Beatty parts, I was really curious about him. After his scenes, I skipped towards the end. Yea I skipped around a lot in this documentary because I didn't think it was worth watching the entire hour and 59 minutes. Sure I like some of her music, but her act of using her sexuality is nothing new. Also spoiled divas are nothing new in this world. In the end she's an entertainer and nothing more. I'm not impressed with her quests for spirituality either.I skipped a lot with this documentary, I was really interested in her relationship with Warren Beatty. She's very disrespectful, she calls him up and he's supposed to meet her but there's some misunderstanding and instead of working it out like a woman, she decides to hang up on him. To Madonna people are just expendable, its all just a game to her. I don't think people should take themselves seriously but its like she mistreats people and I don't like that. I get why none of her relationships last and why her marriage probably didn't last.Warren Beatty also tries to talk to Madonna and bring her to reality, he's not mean either, he actually seems like a very nice man, he speaks in a normal voice and tries to reason with her. I can see why it took a long time for Warren Beatty to commit to a woman because with a circus trainwreck like Madonna, even the nicest guy in the world would run.Warren grew up and married Annette Bening and Madonna didn't grow up at all. Not even with kids in her life. She's going to be one of those lonely old people in the end with no one by her side when she really hits her senior years.
so_original "Truth or Dare" is a documentary that follows the escapades of pop queen Madonna and her backup dancers during her infamous 1990 Blonde Ambition World Tour. Some of her performances from this tour are included, and are filmed in color, while the moments she is not performing are filmed in black and white. Madonna is famous for constantly reinventing her image, and this Madonna is quite different from the Madonna of today. This was before the two kids and the African baby adoption, the second marriage to Guy Ritchie, and Kabbalah. This is the Madonna of 1990 : bold, controversial, sexual, artistic, and constantly pushing boundaries and limits. Her Blonde Ambition tour was a spectacle, full of elaborate choreography, costume and set changes, religious themes, and sexuality. Whether you love or hate her, one look at this movie does not question why she is one of the most successful female artists ever. She is no doubt a visionary, very driven, charismatic, and an energetic performer. Everyone knows Madonna the performer. But, Truth or Dare gives you a peek at Madonna the person. Some people have painted a picture of her as a cold-hearted bitch. There is no doubt that Madonna can dish out some diva attitude when she wants to. She sees herself as the boss, and anyone who tries to step on her toes better watch out. Plus the BA tour was very demanding, with back to back dates and non-stop sets. I'm sure you'd be quite stressed or frustrated in that situation as well.But her critics don't really take the time to point out her good qualities. She has a great sense of humor & can be very caring towards others, like her family and her back up dancers, whom she regards as her family. She sings "Happy Birthday" on stage to her father, waits for hours for her brother to show up backstage, and promotes unity between her dancers. This all seems like very genuine behavior to me. In one scene, a few of her family and friends note how impatient and demanding she can be. But she does seem to gain the people around her's love and respect. Yes, Madonna is very smart and a master at manipulating the media. So she did have control over this project and what was seen and what wasn't. But I give her credit for being brave enough to show the good & bad of her, and being unafraid to face criticism for it. In my opinion, nothing in the film was too appalling. The infamous "laugh" when she discovers her makeup artist was drugged and raped was a nervous reaction, and she did immediately apologize after wards. Madonna has often taken flack for her image, and it could just be the fact that some people don't know how to handle a strong-minded, ambitious woman. I recommend this film to people who like Madonna, cause if you don't you probably won't appreciate it or like it. There's great concert footage included as well, which fans will especially enjoy. It's also a great snap shot of the past Madonna. Whether you agree with her actions or not, she's always compelling and interesting to watch.
beach boy (beachboy1893) This movie is supposed to be a documentary that depicts Madonna on the road. Just the way she is. But is this a real documentary? Madonna is bold, wick, weird, proud, provocative and she likes to be like that. Very likely, she wants to be like that, hiding her real personality behind all those provocations. So it doesn't seem to be so sincere as documentary, but it's OK as document. There are some celebrities, there'sher music and some interesting moments like her visit to her mother grave, her response to Vatican boycott. It's a very different Madonnafrom that showed in the following documentary, that comes 14 year slater. The difference can be seen also at the premiere: in '91 she presented "Truth or Dare" at Festival de Cannes making all the press talking about her famous appearance, while at the recent documentary premiere we have seen a sober and shy Madonna. While her new documentary "I'm going to tell you a secret" (2005) it's a great documentary that everyone must see, this is only for Madonna's fans.
