There's something pure and insightful about how [Angela] Bassett's camera looks at this couple as they flirt, rut, marry, fight, talk about their careers, and experience wild ups and downs, including moments of professional resentment or jealousy. Jan 20, 2015 | Full Review…

While neither overly salacious or reverent, Whitney ... lacks dynamism in telling the tale of a very dynamic life, and falls short of illuminating anything about Houston that both diehard fans and casual observers of pop culture didn't already know. Jan 19, 2015 | Full Review…

Working from a script by Shem Bitterman, Bassett manages to make both of her leads relatively sympathetic, and to keep the story moving even when not a lot is happening. Jan 15, 2015 | Full Review…

Either change the name of the movie to Whitney and Bobby or give viewers more than a few hits, wigs and giggles. Give us more Whitney Houston. Aug 8, 2018 | Full Review…

The movie isn't terrible, but it's not especially good either. If the goal was to give Bobby's side of events: flawless victory. Mar 29, 2018 | Full Review…

Lifetime's Whitney Houston biopic was confusingly bland, and we're not happy about it. Sep 20, 2017 | Full Review…

Here's the thing, as far as standard Lifetime movies go, this was a decent film. But the question is, does Whitney Houston deserve just 'decent,' or does she deserve an HBO miniseries, or a Hollywood film? Jan 23, 2015 | Full Review…

The movie needs a rewrite and reshoot or just Whitney Houston's voice belting out "I Will Always Love You." Or it needs to be ignored. Jan 20, 2015 | Rating: C- | Full Review…
