Weaving grainy black-and-white behind-the-scenes footage with sumptuous full color concert sequences, Madonna: Truth or Dare juxtaposes Madonna’s highly stylized and meticulously executed stage performances with the dizzying chaos of her life on the road (as well as offering glimpses of her baffling relationship with then-beau Warren Beatty, looking sheepish whenever caught on camera.) The highest grossing feature-length documentary of all time upon its release, Madonna: Truth or Dare is a crucial film for generations of the LGBTQ community, exhibiting a degree of honesty and non-judgment toward sexuality rarely seen in mass-market entertainment of the time. It also contains a very funny scene of Madge dunking on Kevin Costner, poster boy for a very different strain of ’90s pop culture.
