Madonna et le Breakfast Club

This is not a documentary about madonna, rather an unauthorized documentary about ms ciccone, and her prehistoric life and way to fame, and a documentary about her friends and bandmates from the michigan and new york era, put together pretty cleverly through dramatization, interviews, sound and videoarchive, and ends up with a most viewable result.

they have really found a spitting image of madonna , and at times i had trouble differing between them. i remember being gobsmacked by the rythm and soul in madonnas voice and music back then, and i still lend an ear to madonna from time to time. i still get tears in my eyes from true blue and like a prayer albums, ......remember i'm an old grumpy man, who once liked to dance....and she is one of the few artists that still can boost my stereo to oblivion. what is a little drawback in the production is the lack of timelineinformation, therefore a 9 instead of 10.

madonna and the breakfast club are a must see production for every music lover,either you hate or love madonna, and may inspire aspiring young darling buds of music and art. highly recommended

This was categorized as a documentary on Hulu. And it kind of is. It's a documentary in that it has interview with people who knew Madonna in her younger years. It's mostly reenactment footage there. There is some actual footage and photos of Madonna in her younger years, but not as much as a typical documentary. Madonna fans will still appreciate it though.

Whether you love her or hate her, one cannot deny the immense impact and influence Madonna has had on pop culture, art , fashion, music, videos, movies and social issues over the last 40 years. This deeply introspective and insightful docudrama, as told by those who lived and worked with her before she shot to super stardom, mixes authentic, rarely seen photos, along with equally rare bits of audio and musical recordings intertwined with actors portraying the events that led up to that iconic MTV video music awards performance in 1984. Getting a peek behind the persona in the very places she used to frequent will instantly elicit a sense of nostalgia for hardcore fans. Even if you're not a fan, you can gather an appreciation for the very real struggles she faced trying to make it big in an era before social media.

Wow! the actress (samantha nicole dunn) looks more like madonna than madonna! a quite enjoyable biography of her early years, and her love affair with chris martin lookalike (dan gilroy, played by calvin knie) amongst many other things . . .

I'm a die-hard Madonna fan and enjoyed the details about her New York life in the 70s before she became famous. The casting director should win an Oscar for finding the actress who plays Madonna. Even as a fan it was hard to tell them apart! I don't like re-enactments in documentaries in general, but loved seeing the real photos and locations. Proves wanna-be stars were taking selfies long before social media!
