Critic Reviews:
- " There’s never a false note in Naomi Ackie’s performance…it feels effortless, avoiding any sense of imitation, she fully inhabits the role…Ackie really sells it, as she lip syncs for her life, capturing Whitney’s on-stage presence, passion, and spirit. " – James Kleinmann (The Queer Review)
- " Lemmons allows Houston to write her own musical epitaph, and I Wanna Dance With Somebody brings Ackie to the spellbinding moment she's earned. " – Robert Denerstein (Denerstein Unleashed)
- " Whitney is enamouring, heartbreaking, glamorous and nostalgic at once. Even if one is not a fan of the mezzo-Soprano, they can view the film for the drama and music. " – Dhaval Roy (The Times of India)
