In this canny and exuberant cinema verite rock-doc, Madonna does what she's always threatening to do: She exposes herself -- and the more we experience her giddy, childlike impulsiveness, the more we like her. Shot during the 1990 Blond Ambition tour, the movie is a fascinating look at how this smallish, pert woman, her grin a sunbeam of libidinous pleasure, has turned her natural exhibitionism into a liberating form of showmanship. For most of ''Truth or Dare,'' Madonna reigns over managers, technicians, musicians, and dancers like a combination dictator and den mother. The most daring -- and revelatory -- aspect of the movie is how candidly it depicts her symbiotic relationship with her dancers, almost all of whom are gay.
