Whitney Houston: I Wanna Dance with Somebody
horizontal line

[Opens Dec. 23 in theaters.] Terrific music dominates Kasi Lemmons' engaging, entertaining, poignant, enlightening, well-acted, multilayered, bittersweet, 146-minute biographical film that chronicles the tumultuous career of iconic, phenomenally talented, drug-addicted, R&B pop singer Whitney Houston (Naomi Ackie), who sang with her strict mother (Tamara Tunie) and brother (Daniel Washington) as part of Sweetwater's in Newark, and ended up becoming a very successful, award-winning artist after signing with record producer Clive Davis (Stanley Tucci) in the 1980s and was managed by her controlling and betraying father (Clarke Peters), supported by her longtime romantic friend and assistant (Nafessa Williams), and eventually had a daughter (Bria Danielle Singleton) with her abusive, adulterous husband (Ashton Sanders).
