Ranking July 2018's Movies From Worst To Best

7. Whitney

Whitney Houston
Altitude Film Distribution

RottenTomatoes Score: 89% (7.5/10)

Box Office: Kevin Macdonald's Whitney Houston doc has grossed $3.8 million worldwide, though given its extremely limited release and the tendency for documentaries to perform better at home, it'll make most of its money in a few months' time.

Verdict: Veteran documentarian Kevin Macdonald takes an impressively well-rounded, warts-and-all look at the tragically curtailed life of the pop icon, pulling no punches while also celebrating her indelible contributions to music.

Neither a doting hagiography nor a sleazy expose, Whitney provides a fascinating probe into the star's troubled life, and should prove intriguing to both her most hardcore and casual fans alike.
