"Whitney: 'Can I Be Me'" has no conspiracies to uncover. It just has a story to tell, and it does that incredibly compellingly.
The film's main triumph is in crafting a convincing narrative with a clear point of view. Much of Dolezal's footage has never been seen.
Heavy on glib generalizations but light on sharp insights or juicy revelations.
Although it offers an astute analysis of how Clive Davis tailored Houston's sound and image to appeal to a white audience ... the film doesn't use enough of Houston's music.
Far from the tabloid profile of a celebrity trainwreck one might have expected from [Nick} Broomfield, he takes care to piece together the personal and professional elements that combined to propel her calamitous downfall.
An appropriately tragic yet surprisingly eye-opening documentary on the rise and fall of singer and actress Whitney Houston
Audience Reviews for Whitney: Can I Be Me
Another of those passable but uninspired documentaries that feel more like a reportage, as they set out to tell us about someone's life and yet in the end we have only the strong impression that we didn't learn much about who that person was, felt or even thought.
