That beautiful voice is still ringing in our ears...it feels like the movie focuses on the end a little too much, but some stunning revelations and interesting examinations of politics...great doc for music fans.

In general, the attempt to make a portrait as complete Whitney becomes kaleidoscopic, without getting to delve too much in each phase, although sketching the character and providing clues about the explanations sought. [Full Review in Spanish]

[Kevin Macdonald] knows how to tell a story about a really complicated famous person and try to provide insight into that person that we think we already know.

As one interviewee says early in the film, "When you don't deal with secrets, they never go away."

[Macdonald's] "Whitney" is daring both emotionally and aesthetically, and gets to a kind of truth about Houston the public has never known before.

Whitney Houston just wanted to dance with somebody who loved her. But life moved too fast for the tragic pop diva.

Macdonald makes artful use of jarring, subversive cuts to highlight the contradictions in Houston's career.

An explosive and controversial documentary that sheds new light on her tragic and perhaps inevitable fall.

(Director Kevin) Macdonald...has a detective's mind and a craftsman's eye.

But not unlike the documentary Amy, we confront a young, innocent, bubbly, and energetic woman. And as we progress, we see and hear the degradation of not only Houston, but also her voice.
July 13, 2018
The film is a sad calamity of conflicting narratives as those closest to Houston work through varying stages of honesty and denial.

Fame may not have killed Whitney Houston, but it didn't save her either.
