This documentary chronicles Madonna's controversial 1990 "Blonde Ambition" international tour, kicking off in Japan during its rainy season, then traveling to North America with significant stops in Los Angeles, Detroit, Toronto, and New York. The film is a behind-the-scenes look at Madonna's relationships with her dancers and crew, her then-boyfriend Warren Beatty, and her family and friends, achieving an intimate glimpse into the boundary-pushing singer's drive and individuality.

Truth or Dare, which comes on as if it were truth and dare, sets out to give us both the “real” offstage Madonna, shot in grainy black and white, and the performing Madonna during her “Blond Ambition” tour, shot in color.

Feeling at times carefully orchestrated, if you can accept this as part of Madonna's 'any publicity is good publicity' campaign, you'll be fine. And the concert footage is top value.

As it stands, Truth Or Dare is useful today largely as a study in marketing.

The final product is candid, exciting, funny, voyeuristic, and a tribute to Madonna’s work ethic as well as a shrine to her position in pop culture, her talent and, yes, her ego.

It's her genius to blend piety with eroticism in a manner not encountered on stage since the operas of Gounod, the biblical epics of Cecil B. DeMille.

Still a rebel at heart. Love this, it needs a 30th anniversary addition with all the concert footage

I ordered this perfume and it just arrived today. After reading various nice reviews of it, I want to give my own. I LOVE IT!!! I've ordered 12-15 perfumes in the past few mos. This is my favorite one out of them all. The smell is precisely as I saw it reviewed before. It's classy and beautiful and long lasting. This is going to be a regular with me and I highly recommend it. I don't recognize notes in perfumes since I'm a NEWBIE. I don't think I'm smelling any caramel, which I desired. But it's just so nice I don't care. Highly Recommended. I find it somewhat intoxicating. I've never purchased perfumes that are $200-$300 a bottle so I don't have real expensive perfumes to compare this too. But I consider it a real KEEPER.

Worst Documentary of all Time. Madonna is a fake person. She is the rudest Celeb out there. "Truth or Dare" more like "Lie or Dare"

Revolutionary document, showing artist & fame like never before. Showing Madonna at top of her carier, as an amazing performer she is & how theatrical & ground breaking Blond Ambition World Tour was. 27 years later still fascinating, simply classic!
