Key opinion
Who's That Girl is widely regarded as a lightweight, nonsensical 1980s screwball comedy that relies entirely on the star power of Madonna. While critics and audiences largely dismiss the film's narrative substance, it remains a curious relic of 80s pop culture for those interested in Madonna's early screen presence.
| Acting | The film functions primarily as a showcase for Madonna, who serves as the central axis around which the entire production orbits. | |
| Production | The hand-drawn opening title sequence stands out as the most artistic and successful component of the film. | |
| Screenplay | The screenplay delivers a breezy, unpretentious, and often absurd 80s re-imagining of classic Hollywood screwball tropes. | |
| Acting | Performances are divided between those who view Madonna's acting as a dynamic, star-making turn and those who find her incapable of acting, relegated to being a mere visual icon. |
