I found out some things that I didn’t know before but the movie, in my opinion was similar to Elvis 🥲

This movie is so good. It lives up to the movies like Jersey Boys and Elvis. Puts a smile on my face watching this.

This movie shows the highs/lows of Whitneys life. After seeing this movie, I can see Whitney Houston as one of America's greatest singers.

Naomi Ackie is stunning as Whitney Houston & the story was entertaining about Houston life to stardom & how it had ups/downs with good cast.
