This is a very disappointing movie and barely touches on the complexity of how Whitney ended up such a tragic figure. The writer and director couldn't seem to figure out how to tell multiple stories, and the movie ends up choppy. Each of Whitney's relationships were complex and this movie didn't portray how all of the relationships intertwined to lead to the downfall of Whitney. The movie is sanitized, boring and hard to follow, unless you already know Whitney's history. I gave it 4 stars for the music, Stanley Tucci and out of respect for Whitney. Your time is better spent watching a documentary about the life of Whitney Houston.

No spoilers here. I like Jason Segel and saw the ad for the show on Freeform, so I thought I'd try it. The concept is unique and really interesting. The acting is excellent and a quite varied cast. As with all science fiction, there are some inconsistencies, but none worth noting...if you don't see them, don't worry. It's both upbeat and down, but the little gloomier moments seem to be leading to hopeful places. Just sit back and enjoy.

I have read some of the reviews that have trashed this movies, and I'm guessing they are written by men. While the movie is not perfect, the story is actually based on true events and to dismiss a persons very real-life trials, including traumatic events such as rape and absent parents, shows whoever wrote these reviews has no idea what the real world is about. As a movie, it could have been a little more consistent in the time lines and explaining how she got to the point of desparation, but overall, this story is worth listening too. Angie Wang did an excellent job of directing overall and making the viewer understand from where she comes. This is not a "drug movie," it is a movie about a poor minority who must do bad things to achieve what the more fortunate have. It shows that regardless of where you come, to wit, her roommate, a white, priveledged female, everyone has problems.
