Globe and Mail
3.5 stars out of 5 -- Watching this electrifying and empathetic look at the life of Whitney Houston, you keep wanting to reach into the screen and nudge Whitney toward a different path -- one that ends a lot differently.
Rolling Stone
Rating: 3.5/5 --
A loving tribute to the late singer that never truly gets to the heart of who she really was, relying on the almost Rashomon-like memories of those closest to her.
