Truth or Dare is an outrageous, insightful, carefully controlled and (to non-fans) overlong documentary of singer Madonna's 1990 Blonde Ambition tour.

Critic Reviews

  • Richard Knight, Knight at the Movies

    In presenting an "honest," unvarnished portrait of herself, Madonna gives her one great performance in a movie.
