What's Love Got to Do with It is clearly one of the best music bio films released in the nineties. Angela Basset brings justice and passion to the role of Tina and Laurence Fishburne gives an Oscar Worthy performance as Ike. You get a feel for the concert scenes and the ending makes you wanan stand up and cheer.
