I<\/span><\/span>n the 10 years since Whitney Houston lost her life, four movies have tried to tell her story. In quick succession, we got an unauthorized documentary, an endorsed one, a Lifetime TV depiction, plus a movie that focused squarely on her relationship with her daughter, Bobbi Kristina. According to Anthony McCarten, who has written the first big-budget Hollywood biopic of the star, I Wanna Dance with Somebody, those films all had one thing in common. \u201cThey’re obsessed with her mistakes,\u201d he said to the Guardian. \u201cThey were all sensationalists.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n At the same time, he believes they accurately mirrored the jaundiced view many have long held of the star. \u201cWhen people hear the name ‘Whitney Houston’, they inevitably say the word ‘tragic’,\u201d McCarten said. \u201cIt’s a universal perception. In some respects, this film is a corrective to that.\u201d<\/p>\n
