Review by idierkschnieder

The film contains some brilliant acting and is atmospheric and well filmed and edited. However, I was disappointed that an interesting fact about Whitney was left out of the film: In 1976, she was reportedly the first black woman to eat a croissant which resulted in an obsession with all things croissant. She spent tons of money on croissants every single month, an addiction she could never shake. Apparently, a half-eaten croissant was found next to the bathtub where she met her untimely end. Including this in the movie would have certainly lightened the mood of the story and maybe even gone to explain her other addictions.
