Whitney itself operates on two levels -- delivering another cautionary tale about the price of fame, but also a tribute to a voice so big and buoyant that it continues to echo long after her death. August 18, 2017 | Full Review…

As is often the case in documentaries like this, absorbing all those details as part of one, tightly edited story gives them an impact they lack when digested in individual pieces over time. August 18, 2017 | Full Review…

An uncharismatic documentary featuring many charismatic people, Whitney is basically watchable but hampered by an inability to push far enough. March 2, 2019 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

A heartbreaking documentary...Crawford appears in the documentary herself, and hearing her speak about Houston alleviates any concern; it's clear you are watching someone who really did love the celebrated vocalist. March 28, 2018 | Full Review…

Music documentaries often peddle the myth that suffering is the hallmark of a great artist, and redemption always lies on the other side of hardship. Whitney: Can I Be Me, on the other hand, is a simple tragedy. December 19, 2017 | Full Review…
