Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 3/4 --
A powerful portrait of emotional endurance, propelled by the outstanding performances of Bassett and Fishburne, both of whom lend a crucial dimension to the gradual redundancies of Kate Lanier's otherwise insightful screenplay.

Angela Bassett is a wonderfully sympathetic screen presence who may have a big career ahead of her.

...A passionate and professional drama that hits both the high and low notes of an extraordinary life and career. An immensely enjoyable saga...
Variety
Fishburne's astonishing portrayal of Ike is what holds the movie together. The actor builds, in precise increments, a devastating portrait of a macho control freak; he even finds a kind of ghastly humor in the character's madness.

...Angela Bassett's Tina is one helluva Proud Mary... - Recommended
Premiere
Agreeably camped-up biopic, ringing with righteous sentimentality and brassy defiance, with a furiously good central performance from Bassett.

[Fishburne's] performance is the one X factor in What's Love Got To Do With It, which in most respects is an entertaining if conventional pop star biography.
