Tina Turner doc tracks one of rock's great survitors; It's a crowdpleasing tale of triumph over adversity which hits its raw highs and gritty lows every bit as emphatically as Turner during her famously electric performances
this is clearly an authorized biography -- it's executive produced by Turner's husband, Erwin Bach -- but it has enough verve and insight to entertain and enlighten
the film tells Tina Turner's story through carefully organised material; it's only fitting that a woman who has spent so much of her life being controlled and misrepresented should finally get to tell her story her way
the celebratory aspect of the ending is well earned, and it's a fine tribute to a woman who has had it with being described only in terms of her suffering, who is ready to be recognised for the force that she has always been
testament to both the filmmakers and a great woman now seemingly at peace with her long and difficult past, "Tina" is a documentary well worthy of its star, an untamed, unparalleled force of nature
slickly produced, at times quite flashy and schmaltzy, it nonetheless digs into one of the most shocking, painful yet ultimately triumphant stories in rock history with real zest and flourish, and a determination to face the brutal truth
simply the best; No matter how many times Tina Turner's story has been told, and from however many different angles, it remains a riveting life. It's legitimately inspirational; "Tina", fundamentally, is a celebration, a unique survival story
