Whitney Houston simply put has broken more records than any other artist in history, and considering that she did so in such an absolutely toxic environment, only makes her legacy all the more endearing, awe inspiring as well as heartbreaking.

Enjoyable movie with a great actress! Listening to Whitney’s songs in a cinema is another level. Good to hear her hits and discover all her problems, some unknown by the big public.

A well done flick, I'd say.

I didn't even know this existed until I was invited a week or two back to go watch it, which is a surprise as I'd imagine a Whitney Houston biopic would've got enough hype that I would've seen it mentioned around
A well done flick, I'd say.

I didn't even know this existed until I was invited a week or two back to go watch it, which is a surprise as I'd imagine a Whitney Houston biopic would've got enough hype that I would've seen it mentioned around the web - perhaps I just happened to miss it? Either way, I'd very much recommend 'Whitney Houston: I Wanna Dance with Somebody'.

I'm no Houston brainiac but of course knew of her top songs and unfortunate personal issues, I feel like the film does a commendable job at covering all aspects - the pacing is top notch, in my opinion. I'd imagine it takes liberties with the truth, as per for this genre, here and there, but that doesn't bother me much if so.

Naomi Ackie is terrific in the lead role, quite the first performance of her's to watch on my part. I hope to see more! The rest of the cast, from Stanley Tucci to Ashton Sanders to Tamara Tunie to Nafessa Williams to Clarke Peters, particularly the latter, are also very good throughout.

I found the run time to be spot on, while the music is - as you'd expect - excellent. Houston sure did make a tonne of hits!

Great perfomance by Naomi Ackie, she was able to capture the heart, the soul and personality of one the greatest singers of all time.

Inferior a "Bohemian Rapsody", temos aqui um filme muito burocrático e certo sobre a cantora e atriz icônica "Whitney Houston", mostrando sua vida da ascenção à fama até seu declínio.
O filme tem um enquadramento que me incomodou, coloca uma câmera meio tramida para transmitir a sensação de movimento, mas o deixa simplesmente aborrecido. O roteiro é tudo muito clean (como nas cenas de drogas ou nas brigas), aproximando-se de um dramalhão de novela.
No entanto, o filme acertou em cheio: na edição dos números musiciais. As apresentações se encaixam perfeitamente durante o enredo, e embora se resumam à Whitney cantando no palco, basta se poder vocal contagiar em cheio qualquer expectador. A cena final, não é tão apoteótica quanto o fora do Queen, mas é forte o suficiente pra fechar bem.
não espere um filme revolucionário. Está na superfície, mas ainda assim consegue criar a atmosfera justa para essa grande artista.

It wasn't perfect, but it was pretty good. Though you could tell when the actress was mimicking Whitney's songs.
