Owen Gleiberman Variety 10/08/2021
As the movie goes on, the feeling it gives you is that for Madonna, art has become all about weighing the dynamics of power. And that has dampened her showbiz instincts. Go to Full Review
John DeFore The Hollywood Reporter 10/08/2021
Wherever one draws the line between supporting a group and co-opting it, X captures a night of solid performances and top-notch stagecraft. Just don't show up if you're looking to hear the old stuff. Go to Full Review

If you ever liked Madonna, this concert film will remind why you weren't wrong. "Madame X" is somewhere between a success and a triumph. Go to Full Review

3/5
Madonna continues to revel in pushing boundaries and remaining original, and she promises to live to 200 in her wide-ranging new concert documentary. Go to Full Review
B.L. Panther The Spool 10/13/2021
Here again, as we've stated before, Madonna performs a "feminist" "activism" that's more of a sound-and-light show which relies on distorted, decontextualized, and projected images. Go to Full Review
Johnny Loftus Decider 10/13/2021
Madame X mixes high-concept, artfully constructed performance sequences with a level of personality and access that a star as image-conscious as Madonna has rarely afforded her viewing audience. Go to Full Review

Chiara E May 10 Absolutely amzing! Best theatrical live experience ever. MADONNA Absolutely is THE ONE AND ONLY QUEEN OF POP See more Katy G 06/15/2024 This mummy better retire since her time has passed in recent years she has only made a fool of herself, she just sucks. See more Mango R 06/14/2024 ASCONNA does not sing and she is boring. Copy of Marilyn See more Madame X 03/24/2024 The music... wow. Everything is wow See more Constantine D 09/03/2023 It is not unusual for critics to diss Madonna's work like their life depends on it, and it's certainly not unusual for them not to have the artistic clarity necessary to comprehend her work in all levels presented. Madame X had some very heavy artistic elements and themes, and while the album itself isn't one of my personal favourites, the visuals take it much higher than the audio standing alone. But then again, that's a well-known quality of Madonna's: elevating the experience of her music through stunning visuals. See more Douglas H 03/30/2023 If you're a fan of Madonna's storied career, you'll unquestionably find this very entertaining. If you're not, some of this might be a little difficult to digest, but it's probably worth a try anyway. There's enough theatrical stagecraft and well performed music to keep just about anyone entertained. The first 45 minutes can feel slightly rough on the edges, with cinematography that at times is almost too fast for its own good, but the concert builds into something rewarding by the end. If nothing else, this is a clear reminder of why Madonna remains the Queen of Pop. See more Read all reviews
