Plenty of issues. But it may bring a new generation to the greatest voice of my lifetime.

The film suffers in a few ways though. The actress chosen isn't beautiful like Whitney was. The whole thing happens inside the bubble and little is conveyed of just how huge a ssuperstar Whitney was. It races through key periods and avoids uncomfortable views - the anorexic drug period, the bloated later years. Her daughter is largely overlooked and the impact Whitney & Bobby's lifestyle had on her, resulting in her premature death.

The use of Whitney's stunning voice is at least done well.

But overall it is a simplistic, formulaic take on an icon. It won't get another pass and it's sad that this is the canonical take.

Tough to say whether this is even worth the extra effort over the Gabrielle Dennis take just a couple of years back...
