What We Think

For its time, 'Madonna: Truth or Dare' was provocatively ahead of the curve when it comes to challenging traditional values and celebrating identity. While not as woke by today's standards, it scores high for its era thanks to its bold themes and limited tolerance for cultural dissent.
