Anyone who says this isn't a Whitney esq bio clearly is unaware of the Whitney story out of the mainstream. It feels like Lena was trying to attempt a quentin tarantino thing ... like he did with Once upon a time in Hollywood, giving us a truthful story with a fictional twist.
I can also understand a viewers aversion to the no singing approach. Which again was a stylistic choice, in a way to show us other singers and the culture of the time and how that in tow was her voice. The influences.
And the direction has a theatrical theme but never goes deep enough into the characters to ever engage with them, feel them and therefor care for them.
But what I struggled with most is... how is this from the same writer that gave us Queen and Slim!!!!!
