Now hang on a sec..., 30 December 2001
Author: highlites from UK
I hate to say this but this 'docu' drama isn't far from the truth. When I watched this I checked the TV mag for the review and 'shock' they said it was a 'far-fetched ruthless and unforgiving portrayal of blood ambition' Of course it was. This woman is or was the ultimate far-fetched bitch. She is what everyone would love to be if only they had the balls, and she has balls. The film does portray her as a manipulative, scheming bitch who didn't just want to be a singer but a world dominating SUPERSTAR who would do anything to get it. The singing thing was just a great excuse to get it. It does seem like just another sensationalistic ploy to shock people into knowing how far Madonna would go to be famous. Since then I've recorded and watched countless hours of documentary footage and recently read her latest 'Intimate Biography' and it would back this film up no end.
My conclusion: i would never want to cross this woman's path. But I still like her. 5/10 to be fair.

Very good made for TV movie, 18 July 2004
Author: AxelEchohawk
Actually a very good TV movie. Terumi (love that name) Matthews played Madonna better than Madonna could play herself. I have read several interviews with, and short biographies of Madonna and she truly is a self-made woman. Many beautiful women have tried to sleep their way to the top - and Madonna certainly has a talent for that - but as the movie makes clear that is never enough. Matthews convincingly portrays a girl of immense energy, courage, audacity and talent who by hook or crook is determined to become a star. As Madonna grows into a woman she neither matures in grace nor gratitude but simply becomes even better a using the people around her to get what she wants. Yet she is not simply portrayed as a one-dimensional vampire but as a person deeply scarred by her mother's death and because of her parent's faith Madonna is also deeply angry with God. The movie does not go into Madonna's new found faith as expressed in Jewish Kabbalah mysticism (since it was made in 1994), nor her marriage and children and now children's books. So in that sense there is much more to tell of the Madonna story.

I look up to Madonna and I love this movie., 11 May 2006
Author: maryjanefarmer from United States
I am Madonna's number one fan. I admire her so much. I would do anything to meet her. This is a great movie the only thing I don't like about it is it made her look like a slut with a bad attitude. Only Madonna could portray Madonna. In my opinion if you're going to make a movie about someone it should be as close to the truth as possible. Bonnie Farmer wrote this review. I don't like to put my name out there but I want everyone who reads this to know my name. The best thing about Madonna is shes not afraid to be sexual. Her ''Erotica'' and ''Justify My Love'' music videos were controversial because of they're sexual content. I hope to one day be at least half as successful as she is at whatever I do. Wish me luck.

Her worst movie ever!, 28 March 1999
Author: Olivier Mouroux (omouroux@aol.com) from New York, NY
Surprisingly enough, Madonna did not star in this horrible movie -even though she usually has a nose for the worst bombs and run to get involved in them. Really, a manichean movie who displays Madonna as a cold-hearted, talentless, manipulative bitch who slept her way through the top and destroyed a few life on the way. No surprise since this is based on one of Christopher Andersen's "unauthorized" biographies... A waste since Madonna's life could definitely make a great movie, and since a few acting talents are really wasted in this horribly bad movie -especially Terumi Matthews and Wendie Mallick. I guess we'll have to wait either until she's dead or until she releases her autobiography for that -what a shame!

Worst movie ever, 15 April 2002
Author: Rose_St from The Netherlands
Madonna is portrayed as a talentless and heartless bitch. Even though she's a tough gal, she's got talent and skills and that's not something that you can conclude after seeing this movie. Based on the biography , by what's his name, the movie and also the book, stink. Madonna is one of the biggest stars of our time. This can't all be because she's a hard bitch?! Madonna is a great woman and she will be remembered.
