Description
Whitney Houston broke more music industry records than any other female singer in history.

She also starred in several blockbuster movies before her brilliant career gave way to erratic behavior, scandals and death at age 48.

Using never-before-seen archival footage, exclusive demo recordings, rare performances, audio archives and original interviews with the people who knew her best, Oscar (R)-winning filmmaker Kevin Macdonald unravels the mystery behind 'The Voice,' who thrilled millions even as she struggled to make peace with her own troubled past.

As one interviewee says early in the film, "When you don't deal with secrets, they never go away."

(Director Kevin) Macdonald...has a detective's mind and a craftsman's eye.
July 10, 2018
[Kevin Macdonald] knows how to tell a story about a really complicated famous person and try to provide insight into that person that we think we already know.

But not unlike the documentary Amy, we confront a young, innocent, bubbly, and energetic woman. And as we progress, we see and hear the degradation of not only Houston, but also her voice.
July 10, 2018
An explosive and controversial documentary that sheds new light on her tragic and perhaps inevitable fall.
September 10, 2018
That beautiful voice is still ringing in our ears...it feels like the movie focuses on the end a little too much, but some stunning revelations and interesting examinations of politics...great doc for music fans.

The film is a sad calamity of conflicting narratives as those closest to Houston work through varying stages of honesty and denial.
September 06, 2018
In general, the attempt to make a portrait as complete Whitney becomes kaleidoscopic, without getting to delve too much in each phase, although sketching the character and providing clues about the explanations sought. [Full Review in Spanish]
July 09, 2018
[Macdonald's] "Whitney" is daring both emotionally and aesthetically, and gets to a kind of truth about Houston the public has never known before.
September 05, 2018
Fame may not have killed Whitney Houston, but it didn't save her either.
July 12, 2018
Whitney Houston just wanted to dance with somebody who loved her. But life moved too fast for the tragic pop diva.
July 09, 2018
Macdonald makes artful use of jarring, subversive cuts to highlight the contradictions in Houston's career.
