VeteranLight I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

Kamila Bell This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

nm2886780 Very inspiring through and through. Captivating from beginning till end. Angela was so good with her dancing, the way she walks, the way she talks was very believable that she was Tina Turner. THere was one scene in the studio when they were recording 'Nutbush City Limit' and she shout out 'I wrote it Ike' for a moment there I thought it was Tina saying that! So 2 thumbs up for Angela Bassette for attack this role right on. But she went too far with the working out, because I thought her muscles are way too big. Tina was never that big, she was tone but never that big. And the wig, I mean whoever is the hairstylist definitely didn't do their homework, because Tina TUrner does not have a stiff hear that sets straight up like the one in the scene at the Ritz. That was bad !

etodd-4 I read the book first, which was intriguing and enlightening on the life of Tina Turner, and one would think that if would be difficult to translate her life's journey into a great movie .Not so! the movie is one of the best biopics related to a famous singer's journey that i have ever seen so far.I was drawn into the story from the beginning of the movie, which begins when Tina was a child singing in the choir, and even at that time, Tina's voice was so magnificent that she was ostracized by the choir director. I was riveted throughout the movie and the story conjured up so many emotions. The music of course, took me back in time when I grew up in the 60's and 70's, which is fantastically revitalized and full of energy.The years of battery that Tina endured from Ike is wrenching and disturbing, but the triumph and endurance of the person called Tina Turner is enlightening.

jpblaw What an incredible film!An inspirational tale of an amazing woman who triumphed against all adversity and quite insurmountable odds to become a truly great star of popular music and also found great spirituality...Quite amazing performances from Angela Basset and Laurence Fishburne. As in so many of these kind of movies, the performances distill the essence of the people they portray so that they are almost more their roles than the people themselves, if that is possible.What more can i say...?I recommend this highly.

calearm it amazing tina great movie Tina Turner is the most successful female rock artist of all time it good biographical film which tells the life story of Tina Turner. This film is directed by Brian Gibson, starring Angela Bassett and Laurence Fishburne.The screenplay was adapted by Kate Lanier from the book I, Tina written by Tina Turner and Kurt Loder.

After a few scenes detailing Tina's life as a young singer in Nutbush, Tennessee, she's discovered by Ike Turner, an already established songwriter, guitarist, and record producer.
