Review of Tina

Tina (I) (2021)
8/10
a good docu, and Tina Turner isn't even in my playlist
31 March 2021
I liked the documentary a lot. Good interviews with people from her surroundings and compelling footage especially of the Ike and Tina days, sometimes it's even eerie.

The docu learned me also a bit more about the years when she tried to get her solo career of the ground, but it also left me a bit hanging. The "modern Tina" part is more focused on the artist, but her personal life moves to the background. It all gets a bit fuzzy from there, it's more a celebration of the artist from that point.

The same about her youth, growing up until she met Ike. Ok, she was very young when she went with Ike but the topic get's barely touched, so you have to fill in the blanks with your imagination. Like who's the father of her son, it gets mentioned one time without any background.

Nevertheless, I enjoyed the documentary a lot, I was sticked to the screen.
