Review of Whitney

Whitney (2015 TV Movie)
6/10
Lifetime doc
13 November 2022
Whitney Houston (Yaya DaCosta) encounters rising music star Bobby Brown (Arlen Escarpeta) for the first time at the Soul Train Awards in 1989. She invites him to her 26th birthday. The star-crossed lovers have a tumultuous relationship.

It's a Lifetime documentary of the star performers. Back in the day, Whitney was the princess brought down by the dark prince Bobby Brown. It's the bad boy thing. Later, it comes out that Whitney already had a drug problem before meeting him. This does show how Whitney fell for Bobby. Angela Bassett is functional directing. It's not the highest quality of production, but it does have some of their biggest songs. Apparently, the family was not involved in the filming. In many ways, this movie is kind to Bobby. In real life, Whitney must have seen something in him. All in all, this is a fine movie of the week documentary.
