Based on the fact that making a biographical film of a world-renowned figure is very complex, in addition to still having some memory among the public and with knowledge of the problems that he faced with drugs.
A cast made up of Ashton Sanders (Bobbi Brown), Naomi Ackie (Whitney Houston), Tamara Tunie (Cissy Houston), Stanley Tucci (Clive Davis), shape this film that illustrates part of the story that is not compromised in any way. of the controversies of the singer originally from New Jersey.
Whitney Houston’s problematic family is portrayed as a strict family with strong religious values, although with its internal breakdowns due to the continuous arguments between their parents that have been exposed in much cruder documentaries of the life of “Nippy”.
At the center of the biographical film is the singer’s sexuality, since she had a relationship with Robyn Crawford, close friend, ex-lover and collaborator of her staff, a character who accompanies Houston from the beginning to the end. Her character raises the double life to which the singer was exposed and the decision that she led to end her relationship in order to achieve stardom.
Anthony McCarten is responsible for the script, as he was also responsible for Bohemian Rhapsodythe latter managed to shape the life of Freddie Mercury with all the chiaroscuro of Queen’s genius, but for Whitney we owed a lot of intensity.
I want to dance with someone: The story presents us with the tragic end of Whitney Houston and other figures who reach the top of entertainment. Demonstrating that this path has not been like in the Olympics and that there is no anti-doping to achieve it, it is all about selling more and going further even if that leaves you without a ticket back to earth.
