Tina is a great documentary. It is about the life and career of Tina Turner. I thought the film was well made and enjoyed learning more about the singer. I would recommend it.

A great documentary of the life of the Queen of Rock and Roll. However, it leaves a lot out and doesn't touch her 90's or 2000's career. Tina Turner did not retire until 2009 and the published books and help produce her musical in 2016, 2018, and 2019, respectively. The voice, lips, hair, and wow…. Those legendary legs will be missed forever. The greatest entertainer of all time.

Sitting through it there was too much reading subtitles of a magazine interview recording and not enough music. After it was over, the appreciation for the movie started to sink in. It tells the story of a celebrity who lived a life that was short on enjoyment, and it did an amazing job of making that sink in.

This is a good documentary, which doesn't shy away from the tough times Tina had while married to Ike but I liked that it includes interviews with her, with her telling some of the story, rather than it all being narrated by someone else. I wasn't aware of the whole story and I found this quite a thought provoking and insightful watch, so I'd recommend it, yes.

It's certainly not warts and all, but it's a fun stroll down memory lane. Tina Turner is a fantastic role model and a wonderful performer. This is a celebration of her music and her resiliency. Using a lot of archival footage and an interview for the documentary, the filmmakers did the best they could with what they had. I wish there was a discussion about some of the children and her frayed relationship with them. Also glossed over was the death of her son by suicide. Docs like this can't get a higher score than seven from me and that's where we are. It's supposed to make you emotional, but it didn't do that for me. Final Score: 7/10

"Out of all the success I was having, why are they talking about Ike and Tina?" I want to start by pointing out that I believe this was objectively a really well made documentary. Tina's marriage to Ike Turner and the horrifying domestic abuse she suffered was obviously a really huge part of her life, and of course it was going to be talked about in depth here, but the amount of focus on it I found suffocating. I really struggled to get into this film for a long while because in my opinion, Tina Turner is an extraordinary woman with so many accomplishments, and the constant circling back to the abuse she suffered almost felt like it was diminishing some of those incredible achievements. There is so much more to her than that. About halfway through, it finally started to pull back and focus on her successes as an artist in her own right and it was so much more enjoyable when you were watching her perform and seeing her in her element. It was truly joyful to get to watch her doing what she does best on stage, and to hear her talk so passionately and candidly about her work; but then it went back to talking about Ike again. More specifically, it really zeroed in on how much she hated always being asked about Ike and her past when she had other achievements... The irony almost killed me. Bottom line: The quality of this documentary was to a really high standard, and if it was just about the filmmaking and seeing Tina strut around in her element onstage, singing her heart out, I would probably give it a 5 star rating. Unfortunately I just feel it was overwhelmingly let down by the constant overshadowing with the reversions back to her troubled past.

I'm glad Tina released a new book called "Happiness Becomes You" that details her happiest days later in life and shares with us all the joy and wisdom from her beautiful heart. This film is well produced, but focuses too much on her life with Ike and all the sad stuff. Wish the filmmakers had included the last 25 years of Tina's life and career from mid 1990s to today. That's the best stuff! There is nothing in this film, for example, about her Wildest Dreams world tour in the 1990s or her other two tours after that (all hugely successful). But still a nice film anyway, because Tina is so great!

Simply the best! I’m not crying, you’re crying.

I definitely have a new appreciation for Tina Turner after watching this documentary. In the footage of her concerts, she has a beautiful positive energy. She credits Buddhism to being able to overcome tremendous adversity. I loved her story.

The greatest lesson this documentary taught me is just how incredible it is that Tina Turner became Tina Turner as she's known today because growing up it was an assumed destiny that Tina Turner was one of the biggest stars on the planet. Granted, as a kid I probably would have said anyone who wasn't obviously a child or teenager was likely somewhere around forty years-old, but the fact Turner was actually fact forty-four when she became a true popstar is legitimately remarkable.

Very well done. Not trite..gives her story in completion..such a loved woman, musician, soul..the documentary tells it all- raw and compelling..

I don't think it's that good. The live performances are good other than that it's mediocre at best

Dan Lindsay & T. J. Martin's documentary Tina! provides an immersive look at the life and career of Tina Turner centering on the pivotal moments of her personal and private life. With Turner's involvement and a ton of archival media, Tina! peels back the layers of Turner's larger than life persona to explore the massive amounts of physical and emotional pain the singer has endured throughout her life including her repeated bouts with abandonment and abuse. The lasting memory it leaves is the immense inner strength that fueled her ability to overcome numerous blows, many of which would have destroyed the average person.

This very well made and informative documentary celebrates the life of the queen of rock'n'roll Tina Turner. Through the never released footages, photos, musical performances and interviews we get to see the chronology of Tina's impressive career as well as her childhood memories, relationship with Ike Turner and the aftermath of their split. For me, the most touching moments are captured in the interview footages when Tina gets asked (time and time again) about Ike and her expression suddenly changes as she recalls the abuse she was put through. On the lighter note, many of Tina's uplifting songs are featured in the film, which makes it recommendable not only for fans, but for the wider audience as well.

This documentary was disappointing. It does not bring new insights about her life. It mainly recycles the story about her bad relationship with her ex, but that was already elaborated in the book and illustrated in the past movie. Although she keeps trying to forget the past, here we go; another work about her past, pestering her with same old questions about why and how she left. Very original. What about her relationship with music? Process of making? Her approach to stage performance? What made her so unique? Lastly, it seemed like after looking for love for two decades she ends up with a guy due to... his pretty face?

it take on a journey that do you ever know about.

Inspired and inspiring ❤️❤️💕💕💕💕

Excellent documentary! Bravo to all of those involved.

This documentary is more then a tale of empowerment and tragedy. It has taken the shape of being a beckon for many people who are currently in or were domestic abuse household. This move is also for those that are needing a "comeback" or "second Act" in their lives. Or many in some cases. Furthermore, Tina has proven there are many more great things to happen to an individual if they believe in their dreams , faith , individuality, family and mostly importantly love despite the pain and Trauma one faces in their lifetime. This especially true for someone like me whose in their early 20s in a pandemic. I would highly recommend both for the healing Of oneself and while having an empathy of Tina story and countless many who share the singers experience. It really plays out the double edge coin of what is means to be human through tragedy and triumphs.

This is very well done. More directors and producers wanting to make similar biographical films should follow this as a model. One key reason it stands out among its genre is the decision to include so many concert clips over the years, and especially for letting them play out so much. Some phenomenal performances from the 60's & 70's show Turner in extended stretches of songs, in those incredible outfits she and her backup singers would wear. And they would wear a stage out! Ike was a subhuman bastard, whether he was bipolar as hell or just a lowlife bastard too cowardly to deal with his insecurities or handle a woman as anything close to an equal. I didn't feel like the doc ever got exploitative or sanctimonious, nor did it make Turner out to be some untouchable mega-star. It shows clearly that she is Anna Mae Bullock, and this is her story. 4 stars
