This is like a spoof documentary, a real documentary, a manipulative media tool and Hello magazine all rolled into one!!
From the first scene, to the credits, I thought this was gripping stuff. Who cares if we see the real Madonna or not? What we see is a no holds barred (if you believe that...) view of the most famous woman on the planet. May be Madonna is the superbitch she appears on screen, may be she's playing to the camera but who cares? What you get is a voyeristic glimpse into the life of a superstar on the road.
Fortunately there are other people besides "that woman" - I particularly liked and ultimately felt sorry for one of the dancers (Oliver) who seemed caught up in the madness of the Tour and Madonna's camp world of gay dancers and life lived to the extreme, there's a few shots where he really does seem to have fallen head over heals for her. Also, one of the most revealing scenes is when he is summoned by the Queen herself, who sits on her throne being prepared for another outing, and tries to sympathise with his feelings and confusion due to an unwanted press article. She is nice to a point but when Oliver tries to play the role of sulky kid, she doesn't stand for it at all "...and Oliver, don't give me an attitude, because I won't stand for it" He is put in his place by the boss. Watch out for the look on her face, the most amazing icey stare you could possibly imagine....ouch!!
Yes she appears hard, calculating and cunning at times, but also dedicated, highly intelligent and articulate and also funny. Mind you, if you had the whole world watching you and were brave enough to take the flak for your actions in the public arena, I reckon you might be tough too.
May be it's not the "warts and all" documentary that Madonna claims it to be, but it certainly is the most revealing insight into the life of celebrity that we've ever seen. And I'll tell you one thing, we may all dream of fame and fortune but it sure ain't all roses!
As well as the behind the scenes footage (shot in black and white to give the feeling of glamour and graininess at the same time) the concert footage (colour) is stunning and you realise why people will fork out £30 to see this woman.
A great film about an ultimately fascinating woman, whether you like her or not, you can laugh along with her or shout at the screen, either way, you'll be compelled to watch.

The question about this film is not whether it is well acted, which on the whole it is, but the subject matter and they message it gives. Firstly I have to question why someone would enjoy watching a film about the hideous abuse of a group of young boys...call that entertainment? Believe me it's not.
And secondly, the overriding message is that revenge, and vigiliante justice is excusable, even acceptable in certain circumstances. It is not. Many people have been abused in their lives but that does not mean they have a warrant to, or indeed feel the need to, exact punishment on their abusers.
Hollywood should not mess with such important issues. Stick to the popcorn munching entertainment it does so well.

Believe me this film is awful. Now I am a BIG Madonna fan and I have tried, out of duty, to watch and enjoy this film, but I can find no redeeming quality. The script is terrible, the direction is misguided, the acting dire...need I go on?
I didn't even get as far as enjoying it, I have never seen it all the way through. Sorry Madonna, but as I am sure you know, this is a stinker!
