I'm a die-hard Madonna fan and enjoyed the details about her New York life in the 70s before she became famous. The casting director should win an Oscar for finding the actress who plays Madonna. Even as a fan it was hard to tell them apart! I don't like re-enactments in documentaries in general, but loved seeing the real photos and locations. Proves wanna-be stars were taking selfies long before social media!
This is not a documentary about madonna, rather an unauthorized documentary about ms ciccone, and her prehistoric life and way to fame, and a documentary about her friends and bandmates from the michigan and new york era, put together pretty cleverly through dramatization, interviews, sound and videoarchive, and ends up with a most viewable result.
they have really found a spitting image of madonna , and at times i had trouble differing between them. i remember being gobsmacked by the rythm and soul in madonnas voice and music back then, and i still lend an ear to madonna from time to time. i still get tears in my eyes from true blue and like a prayer albums, ......remember i'm an old grumpy man, who once liked to dance....and she is one of the few artists that still can boost my stereo to oblivion. what is a little drawback in the production is the lack of timelineinformation, therefore a 9 instead of 10.
madonna and the breakfast club are a must see production for every music lover,either you hate or love madonna, and may inspire aspiring young darling buds of music and art. highly recommended

The premise behind this documentary / reenactment is fantastic: Interviews with the musicians that were a part of Madonna's rise to fame. Stories aren't often told of Madonna's early years with the Breakfast Club and Emmy. And while there were many interesting tales they get bogged down with too many interviews and reenactments.
Honest, interesting and extremely well put together tale of how life progresses and people end up writing each other life stories
This was categorized as a documentary on Hulu. And it kind of is. It's a documentary in that it has interview with people who knew Madonna in her younger years. It's mostly reenactment footage there. There is some actual footage and photos of Madonna in her younger years, but not as much as a typical documentary. Madonna fans will still appreciate it though.
