Tina is one of the best entertainers out there--with her combination of performance style, bold voice, and energetic dance moves. Her success over adversity is well documented in this biographic film.
The film is a retrospective of her accomplishments at a time when she had to overcome some very difficult circumstances in her life. It focuses on how Anna Ma Bullock became the superstar Tina Turner. The story is fascinating but at times very painful to watch about the physical and emotional abuse that she experienced from Ike Turner. The film delves enough into the painful chapters of her life to help viewers understand her deep courage to leave Ike and to make a new life on her own.
The story is chronological, so viewers are taken along on the journey. The film has a good mix of historic and contemporary concert footage of her singing and interviews with Tina, her husband, and other key people. The editing of her story manages to integrate all these things into a fairly cohesive whole. I particularly enjoyed the recent interview footage with Erwin Bach (her husband) and her.
