Thank you for the upload. Unforgettable, stunning performance by Angela Bassett. A subtle yet powerful, deeply moving portrayal. Tina Turner, a singer who found inner strengths to match her gifts. Bassett, an actress who delivers intelligence, vulnerability, strength, and then some in roles that can barely keep up with her. Few can equal these women today, on stage or screen, and with such stirring authenticity. Love 'em.
