I Wanna Dance with Somebody is a powerful and triumphant celebration of the incomparable Whitney Houston. Directed by Kasi Lemmons, written by Anthony McCarten, produced by legendary music executive Clive Davis and starring Naomi Ackie, the film is a no-holds-barred portrait of the complex and multifaceted woman behind The Voice. From New Jersey choir girl to one of the best-selling and most awarded recording artists of all time, audiences are taken on an inspirational, poignant - and so emotional - journey through Houston’s trailblazing life and career, with show-stopping performances and a soundtrack of the icon’s most beloved hits as you’ve never heard them before. Don’t you wanna dance? (Sony Pictures)

If I had gone to the movie theater to see this biography, I would have been disappointed. I definitely agree with the opinion that even an average documentary would easily surpass this feature film. A weak, uninteresting work that only exists to illustrate the book of Whitney Houston's first partner Robyn Crawford A Song for You: My Life with Whitney Houston (2019).

A mere average among musical biopics. It’s classically sleek with a structure that has been tried hundreds of times and a very eager performance by Naomi Ackie at its centre, but she doesn't really sing what we hear in the film with her voice. The characters we follow over a span of years to decades don't age, nor do they seem drug-addled, though realistically they should, and the whole thing drags like glucose syrup. It may satisfy die-hard Whitney Houston fans, but otherwise it's more of a backdrop to do the ironing a Sunday afternoon.
