What made me see this documentary for real for the first time( I did see it when I was 16. in the middle of the 90is but i didn't pay that much attention to it) was actually documentary about the dancers from this tour called "Strike a pose" released a year ago.The title of the documentary is in reference to the party game Truth or Dare?. Outside North America the documentary title was changed by Miramax Films to In Bed with Madonna, due to the game being relatively unknown in other countries. Documentary shows the singer at her prime. She appears to be incredibly intelligent, fun, a bit obnoxious and moody, hard working, cold bitch, vulnerable and funny. Everything what it takes to make this a great documentary. The movie is filmed in black and white technique and live performances are in color, I guess B&W style really gives it some classy touch. The film begins the day after the final show of the Blond Ambition Tour in Nice. Madonna cleans up her hotel room she explains that she is not as emotional as the rest of her group over the end of the tour.She has already grieved and she hopes she is in the safe place when it happens. In a flashback, the tour is about to kick off in Japan. Everything is a mess; there are sound problems and Madonna did not realize that the tour is during the rainy season in Japan. Everything about this documentary is amazing, the moments she visits mothers grave, the moments with the dancers, the gay kiss that was so shocking at the time, the gay pride in NY that you couldn't see on TV and non the less in the documentary of, at the time, the most popular singer in the world. How popular this documentary is and it's cult status that surrounds him made it to another documentary "Strike a pose" released in 2016. Strike a Pose is a Belgian-Dutch documentary film, which premiered in Berlinale. the film profiles the dancers who performed with Madonna on her Blond Ambition World Tour in 1990.The aftermath of the tour and what are they doing today. So I would truly recommend "Truth Or Dare" and then switch to "Strike a Pose"

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.

This is Madonna at her best while during the prime of her music career. Although the film was released in 1991, Truth or Dare actually takes place during the summer of 1990, as Madonna went around the globe on her Blonde Ambition tour. This documentary / music film is a piece of history of not only of Madonna back in the day but what the styles and sounds of the year where like. Boy does it bring back memories! From spandex biker shorts, to that famous cone bra, and not to forget the hairstyles... its really great to watch and think back of what life was like when "Vogue" was her biggest hit to date. She is so revealing, funny, demanding, and warm at heart. It shows the no nonsense business side of her and the sad reflective side of her as she thinks about her mother who died when she was so very young. The film is packed with celebrities, including Warren Beatty, whom she dated while filming his blockbuster film, Dick Tracy. It shows the lives of her dancers, backup singers, and the crew behind the stage as they all mingle around her and do their best for camera time. LOL But in the end, there is no brighter star than Madonna. To this day she is still pushing buttons, creating great music, and daring us all to watch. And just like this film, I think its safe to say she accomplished what she set out to do.

Pop singer Madonna's 1990 tour takes her and her troupe to different cities, where she inevitably butts heads with authorities, locks horns with boyfriend Warren Beatty and her management, and covers emotional hurdles, though not always with grace, tact or ease. If anything, this documentary exposes her human side, which is seldom apparent in her acting roles. Of course this was probably her intention, as she always has her eye out for the camera (and it is always on top of her, with shots lasting seconds too long--just in case something vital may be missed). The black-and-white photography off-stage is grainy and over-bright, a strain on the eyes, but the color concert sequences--though they tend to go on too long--are pretty incredible. Many moving, exhilarating moments, no matter how you personally feel about the Diva. **1/2 from ****
