That's my absolute favorite part of truth or dare. Madonna is sooooooo disgusted by it, there's no way not to laugh.

They don't make celeb documentaries like this anymore. It definitely feels less calculated than some, probably because Madonna didn't have final say.

i watched half of the movie so far, and while i enjoyed it, i would much prefer if Olivia didn't scream-talk during most of the songs
more than once, i wanted to scream, "let's stick to singing"
