Whitney's reviews
Media reviews
El Mundo
"Indeed, the novelty is not such a novelty if the familiarity with the subject matter has a note of remarkable up."
The Hollywood Reporter
"It's a riveting narrative, and even those not among Houston's more passionate fan base will find it an emotionally wrenching experience"
Variety
"Macdonald?s multi-faceted portrait of Houston allows us to touch the intertwined forces that did her in"
Screen Daily
"Whitney is strongest when it connects Houston to the larger history of Black America, illustrating how this glamorous performer grew up in poverty and never entirely escaped the obligation of helping to pull up her underprivileged family members"
Cinemanía
"In a Hollywood narrative effort, he insists on knowing the reason for his terrible ending and finds it: his relationship with another woman, the abuses he suffered as a child ... Dramas that neither the best scriptwriter would have written and explain why we continue ( and we will continue) watching Whitney documentaries and contemporary stars. "
The Guardian
"It?s a film principally and poignantly focused on the absence of Whitney, an aching void felt as much in life as in death. Many of us missed Whitney even before she left; this imperfect documentary preys calmly and effectively on that longing"
