Viewers find 'I Wanna Dance with Somebody' a touching and emotional ride through Whitney Houston's life, highlighted by Naomi Ackie's commendable performance and a powerful soundtrack. While the film excels in showcasing Houston's iconic songs and emotional depth, some viewers felt it skimmed too quickly over her life's details, focusing more on performances than on in-depth storytelling. The portrayal of her struggles with fame and addiction adds a poignant layer, though some wished for a deeper exploration of these aspects.
👍 Naomi Ackie's performance is a highlight.
👎 May feel more like a concert than a biopic.
