A retrospective of Madonna's life from the moment she decided to leave her parents' home in Michigan for an adventure in New York, to the peak of her success with the Blonde Ambition Tour in 1990. Using archival footage and photographs, Ogden reconstructs the story with the help of people personally involved, including Madonna's brother Christopher (and regular dancer in the early years), former managers, and other people who worked closely with her or lived with her. Madonna herself also speaks in old audio recordings in this formally unremarkable, yet well-researched and structured portrait of one of the most important female icons of the last 50 years.

The documentary itself isn't memorable and won't easily stand out among other better music documentaries. I felt I was left wanting, especially in terms of the music itself. But it's a credit to the filmmakers for delving deep enough to also look behind the scenes. It offers a better picture of the superstar than we usually get. Perhaps it's also almost impossible to capture all aspects of Madonna in a single documentary.
