My expectations were low because of the user reviews I read but I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed it. The movie is visually stunning and the story was warm & heartfelt. I would describe it was a war-time Pinocchio type of story. I was also moved by how tastefully the racial dynamics played out with the boy (George). This story is about George learning to love himself and embrace every part of himself (black and white) and to ask recognize just how much his mother loves him. There's nothing like a mother's love. A good mother will fight for her children. Give this movie a fair chance. It's a solid story.

First let me start with what was good about this movie. Of course the music was nostalgic and enjoyable. I think the casting was spot on for the most part however the cast can only work with the script they are given. To make it plain, it was a great cast but a poorly constructed storyline.

This movie was very choppy and disconnected. It felt like a bunch of scenes that were haphazardly thrown together. The movie lacked charachter development. Whitney Houston had a larger then life personality. There were so many missed opportunities for us to really get to know the "who, what and even possibly why" of WH.

Honestly, it felt like an extended music video. Everything was very "surface level". I really wanted to like this movie but it was so disappointing. The only saving grace was the "essence" of Whitney Houston herself - -which was respectfully memorialized through performance of Naomi Ackie.

We will always love Whitney Houston, The Voice. She deserves a better Biopic.

Initially, the series began to feel disjointed to me by season 4, however I decided to give it another chance. I'm so glad I did!!!

I binged watch all 4 seasons and gained an appreciation for just how masterful this storyline is. There are so many clues and Easter eggs leading up to season 4. I highly recommend those who claim to love season 1 so much to go back and watch it all again.

In my opinion, I think part of the problem is that many viewers overly romanticized about the world/game of Westworld. They wanted the show to "park" right there, but this show is not about the game. The game is just the beginning of something bigger and darker. And yet at the same time as the world gets darker we also see the oppressed, the abused and misused rise to the top.

It may be messy but it's beautiful. "There is beauty in this world" I think it was mastetfullh done! I hope they get the green light for season 5.
