Whitney

“Whitney” is a documentary about the life of Whitney Houston. Unlike a like a lot of films like this one, there is a lot of footage of her from the time she was young. Her mother was a singer and her cousins were Dionne and Dee Dee Warwick. Houston was an amazing talent and was at the top of her profession, but drugs and depression ruined her life. It is hard to sit through a clip of one of her last concert performances when the audience boo-ed her. The saddest part for me is how her daughter’s short life turned out. I have mixed feelings about this film; It is fascinating to learn about a star I liked, but I found it sad and disturbing how she ruined her life.
