Madonna is absolutely iconic in this movie.
The Big Picture The transition from music to acting has always been one riddled with ridicule. From Gene Simmons to Kelly Clarkson, there is no shortage of failed musicians-to-actors. Madonna, however, the Queen of Pop herself, managed that transition with overwhelming grace and subsequent success in Susan Seidelman's 1985 cult classic Desperately Seeking Susan.
The film's title could not be more apt as the movie exists so that both Roberta and the audience are able to 'seek' the almost mythic figure of Susan. Within the context of the film, Roberta and Susan's lovers view her as such, but the audience is essentially watching Madonna play Madonna.
