What’s Love Got To Do With It (No Spoilers)

Whats love got to do with it is a Biopic based on Tina Turners (Angela Basset) rise to fame,Relationship with abusive husband Ike Turner (Laurence Fishburne) and her struggle to achieve freedom from the latter.

I want to start by saying this is an absolute must watch,wether you are a fan of Tina Turner or not,this is an incredibly powerful film. both Basset and Fisburne do an incredible job of portraying their characters and is truly heart wrenching to see the struggles Tina Turner faced over the years.

However be warned some scenes are definitely tough to watch and although Tina was involved with the making of this film she herself has publicly stated she’s never seen it and that some events are not correct as well as stating some things had been left out because she felt nobody would believe they had actually happened to her.

I have watched this film twice now ,and although it’s not one I could watch over and over it is one I 100% recommend watching at least once

Rating: 8.5/10
