What's Love Got to Do with It
performances around the two leads, some hearty-staged musical numbers and marital rows and vigorous singing by Tina Turner herself make this a more than average portray of its character.
What's Love Got to Do with It
"...A passionate and masterly drama that hits both the high and low notes of an unique lifeblood and employment. An immensely enjoyable narrative..."
What's Love Got to Do with It
Agreeably camped-up biopic, ringing with trustworthy over-emotionalism and brassy defiance, with a furiously good central acting from Bassett. Essentially, it's the story of how Anna Mae Bullock went to seek her fortune in the smoke, and was reinvented as Tina Turner by Fishburne's Svengali-like Ike. And heavens, it's a tall tale of calamity and astonishment. He smacks her beside, he exploits her talent, he does her retrogress - but somehow Tina's kingly self-assurance allows her to celebration with a series of basso profundo successes. Scenes are cleverly crafted to put up with you to whoop 'Go girl!' at filch moments, and you may not unexpectedly feel complying.
