Tina, the documentary, does a wonderful job of taking the audience through her story, particularly her origins as a child who picked cotton in Tennessee and how she convinced Ike Turner to give her a place in his band.

Strangely, a film supposedly dedicated to celebrating a major artist's transcendence of great hardship ends up reinforcing those hardships as her legacy, rather than the art she made.

It is admittedly a curious directorial choice to have their own subject say they're sick of talking about the story at hand and then make a film about it anyway.
