Madonna Brings ‘Confessions II’ to Tribeca Festival

The Hollywood Reporter and the US edition of Hello Magazine are among the first news outlets to report about the premiere of Confessions II at the Tribeca Festival last night.

While the report by Nicola Conville on Hello is focused around Madonna being supported by three of her children and famous friends at the New York City premiere of the movie at Beacon Theatre last night – click here for amazing images of Lourdes Leon, Mercy James, David Banda and longtime friend and actress Debi Mazar on the blue carpet – the story by Hilary Lewis on The Hollywood Reporter is an in-depth review filled with spoilers – so stop reading and do not click here if you prefer to remain spoiler free until Confessions II is released to the general audience on YouTube on Monday.

The article on The Hollywood Reporter is in fact a full review of both the cinematic experience and the information that came up in conversation during the post-screening Q&A with Madonna, TORSO and Anderson Cooper, who stepped in last minute to replace the announced host, Jimmy Fallon.
