"To see this documentary is to be in awe of her talent, and to bask in it."
San Francisco Chronicle
"Kevin Macdonald's WHITNEY is a documentary chronicle of Whitney Houston's life; it's tough-minded, unsparing and far superior to the biopic and the nonfiction film that preceded it."
Wall Street Journal
"WHITNEY transcends the conventions of the form, delivering a powerful reminder of the breathtaking talent she possessed and the monumental future that was squandered on the altar of selfishness and greed."
