| NOW TorontoGlenn SumiA must-see for Madonna fans or anyone obsessed with Where Are They Now? featurettes. |
| AwardsWatchErik AndersonA superb look at the meteoric rise to fame and the eventual plummet that can often follow. |
| Georgia StraightCraig TakeuchiThe thoughtful approach by cordirectors Ester Gould and Reijer Zwaan bestows respect upon its seven subjects, something that had been a long time coming. |
| San Diego ReaderMatthew LickonaThe film isn't overly interested in gory details, however; it prefers to push a narrative of hope and healing, so much so that it concludes with a reunion dinner wherein The Queen of Pop is absolved in absentia. |
| User ReviewMj Fengrossing story. took me back to that time in my life. very moving. |
| User ReviewEric MA great film about what it was like to be gay in early 90s and how we can change attitudes by being brave. So much more than a concert movie. Really enjoyed it and meeting one of the cast. Ps don't mention law suit |
| User ReviewSandrine AThis documentary could have been so much more. But loved the heartfelt raw and true emotions of all the dancers. I wish that they could have done more with their talent; but I understand this was not as easy as one may think. Love these dancers and will always will. |
| User ReviewBill TWasn't too wild about this as some other people I'm afraid. As much as I loved Truth or Dare, this does provide an... interesting accompanent to the original film, as we find out what's happened to the backup dancers, but by the end of the film, you're wishing they just moved on a little more with their lives and stop being Madonna fag hags. The ultimate thing being that two of the dancers sued Madonna and the makers of Truth Or Dare when the film came out, and now they're wondering why Madge doesn't call. It all doesn't add up. |
