A joyous, emotional, heartbreaking celebration of the life and music of Whitney Houston, one of the greatest female R&B pop vocalists of all time, tracking her journey from obscurity to musical superstardom.

“Whitney Houston was truly the voice of her generation and one of the greatest voices of all time. I have been a fan of Whitney Houston my whole life. It is always hard to do a biopic and sum up someoneu0026#39;s life in a single film. But the film does justice to Whitneyu0026#39;s life and career. Naomi Ackie is the embodiment of Whitney and gives a great performance. No one could ever replicate Whitneyu0026#39;s voice but Naomi certainly looks the part. She deserved an Oscar nod, it is shocking she did not get nominated.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe film did not shy away from the struggles Whitney faced in her life. Drugs were always in the picture, it is for a number of celebrities. But Whitney sadly got involved with very bad company. Bobby Brown spelt the downfall of this hugely talented songbird. If only she stayed away from that talentless waste of space she might have been alive and going strong. It is absolutely tragic to see the fate Whitney suffered. Like so many celebrities before her she became a prisoner of her own fame and indulged in substances that were too easy to obtain.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis film is underrated and deserves more credit. Overall a decent film and homage to this beautiful legend (Nippy) who has left us with timeless music that is in a league of its own.”
