The Material Boy

Directed by Luizo Vega & Victor R. Ulloa

An Italian American teenager from a strict Catholic family becomes pregnant and secretly gives birth in a convent run hospital. To avoid scandal, the nuns arrange for her son to be raised in Argentina under a false identity. Eighteen years later, he discovers that his biological mother is Madonna, who went on to become one of the world's biggest pop stars.

This film is not currently available to watch online. It may be awaiting release or may no longer be available on any known streaming service.

The Material Boy is a visually bold queer drama about beauty, desire and self-invention. Luizo Vega and Victor R. Ulloa lean into stylisation and performance, and while the film can feel self-conscious, its confidence gives it a distinctive identity.
