Movie Review: WHITNEY HOUSTON: I WANNA DANCE WITH SOMEBODY

WHITNEY HOUSTON: I WANNA DANCE WITH SOMEBODY Director: Kasi LemmonsStarring: Naomi Ackie, Ashton Sanders, Stanley Tucci, Tamara Tunie, Nafessa Williams It seems rare when a music biopic actually lives up to its subject.

Hibbert, Ashton Sanders, Trevante Rhodes, Mahershala Ali, Janelle Monáe, Naomie Harris, André Holland In the 2014 film Boyhood, we watched a young boy grow up over a twelve year period. You can say that Moonlight shares a similar trajectory as we watch a young black man grow up over three different periods of his life. The first section showcases Chiron (Hibbert) as a nine-year old kid who’s nicknamed “Little” based on his smaller, weaker stature compared to the other kids his age.
