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.
