"Whitney Houston was, like Elvis Presley, interesting enough by herself, and director Kasi Lemmons does justice to her with a straightforward consideration of her tragic arc."
Wall Street Journal
"Ackie helps sell Houston as a singular talent even when it’s not her singing those legendary songs at Mt. Everest-level runs of mezzo-soprano notes."
Rolling Stone
"“I Wanna Dance with Somebody” is the kind of lavishly impassioned all-stops-out biopic you either give into or you don’t — and if you do, you may find yourself getting so emotional, baby."
