I was distracted by how different the actress actually looked from the real Whitney. As much as she tried with her Whitney mannerisms and especially her speech, her build and her height was no way near Whitney, and i kept watching purely to hear songs. While we dont expect a lookalike and a mimic to completion , we need some resemblance and unfortunately this movie just didnt do it for me. Besides that the costume department failed dismally. All her outfits were either to big and ill fit and were terrible copies of the original. Watching videos of Whitney, she was perfectly put together and every dress fit her to perfection.
All this and the vagueness of the story telling, kept me wondering if its a true story or poor conjecture.
All this movie did was place doubt in our minds about the Houston family and their doings.... and potrayed Whitney as a drug sniffing drunk lesbian who died disgracefully in a bath .... and i dont think this was her.
I think she was a kind beautiful soul that was abused for her talent as the best singer ever by her very own family... as is the case of many of the legends who died prematurely after abusing drugs and alcohol.
