Whitney was a one of a kind, unique, they were never going to find someone exactly like her but Naomi's high energy, emotional portrayal of Whitney was amazing!

I just watched the movie today. Funny they showed a clip of "Cinderella', as to me Naomi Ackie looks more like Brandy Norwood than Whitney Houston. Having said that, Naomi Ackie mimicked Whitney's speaking voice and mannerisms perfectly and uncannily. Naomi would definitely deserve an Oscar nomination. It's a tour-de-force performance.

I loved the film and Naomi did Whitney and her emotions, her legacy justice.

She killed that movie! I absolutely loved it from beginning to end! Well done! 🙂🙏🏽💪🏽

I was opposed to watching someone portray the late great Whitney Elizabeth Houston. A night out turned into dinner and a movie and I’m not sure what the other movie was, I just remembered it was 3 hours long. I ended seeing this movie with no expectations and Naomi blew my mind. I went home and pulled up all the original videos of Whitney and this movie replicated every performance accurately. Thank you all for representing Whitney’s legacy so well. Her talent is missed, those of us who grew up during this era miss her terribly.

She's so goofy! Love it 🤣🥰

I’ve been a fan of Whitney Houston for ages.. and seeing this woman portraying her.. damn! Naomi made her alive again. I love it !

Can’t wait to see the movie !

Saw the movie a few days ago. It didn’t tell me anything new that I didn’t already know…but it was still a great Movie. Naomi really did Whitney justice…she got all the little subtleties down pat…the way Whitney inhales, exhales…her lip syncing was so on point I swear she was actually singing the songs. She could totally be in an angela basset or brandy biopic…cause she looks just like them.

Please give this lady an Oscar a very talented individual who's performance of Whitney was a 1st class act She would have been proud of her 👏 I loved the film to bits and was emotionally drained after watching a fine performance

When they make Brandy Norwood’s movie, I hope she’s still around! She was brandy’s twin in the movie

Well yes I agree when you explain it that way I guess since we all been missing her & not hearing Whitney voice after 10 years she been gone it could be refreshing to hear her sing all her hits so if someone is going to the movies to c it I guess that's how they will have to view it as if it's been a long time coming to hear her pure Voice again!

Around that time I was also raised around the movie "Coming to America" with Eddie Murphy. I thought Whitney was truly a Princess from Africa like Prince Akeem. I wanted a barbie doll like her to add to my collection but they never released one. :(

Great movie!
