Fails to capture the excitement of the era or create a compelling narrative around her early days in New York.

It's stiff and colourless--at best, an act of devotion. Made with much love and little skill, the film is strongest as a repository for everything about Madonna before Madonna.

Rated: 2/4

Deep devotees might check it out for sheer curiosity value, but others will find themselves describing ''Madonna and the Breakfast Club'' with a word that is rarely applied to Madonna herself... boring.

I thought the main actress Jamie Auld did an amazing job portraying Madonna. I really enjoyed this film as a fan of Madonna. Really cool to learn she was in a band and played instruments. I think that Jamie Auld had a striking resemblance to Madonna too. Sad to see she passed away at age 26. She was a talented actress.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars

The cast is great as the actors really look like the people they are supposed to portray. Costume design is accurate too! Photography is nice and audio is great. Now, the interviews are wholesome and sometimes even nostalgic. I loved it.

The continuity between real imaginary from the late 70s / early 80s and the actress playing Madonna is seamless. Really powerful insight into how Madonna became who she is. Well done

A touching story about Madonna's early years as a struggling performer in NYC. I enjoyed learning about her relationships with the band mates who taught her about music and noticed her star quality early on. I was surprised how hard she had to work and how close she came to giving up before becoming a household name. I think this would be a touching story even if its main character wasn't a superstar.
