Have YOU seen “Back to Black?” What did you think? Let us know in the comments!

The Romanization of Blake made me feel uncomfortable as well. The narrative made it seem like he was Amy's one and only love, when she was dating Reg Traviss at the time of her death, with the two planning to marry, and start a family.

My favourite part of the biopic was the close bond shared between Amy and her nana. It brought much needed heartwarming moments into an otherwise bleak storyline.

1. There was not enough criticism of the press that taunted and harassed Amy, there was only criticism of paparazzi, not the journalists who published the shit about her. That’s probably because those same publications that wrote headlines like “Amy on crack” are the ones that are going to be reviewing the film. 2. The death scene was awful. If you knew nothing about her, you’d assume based on the scene that she died because of Blake moving on and having a child. That wasn’t true. That may have been a factor but not the sole reason as to why she relapsed into drinking alcohol again.

As an Amy fan the saddest thing about this film is that not only do we not get to hear Amy’s unique & captivating voice people who don’t know better are going to walk away believing the many inaccuracies throughout it.

I hate that they didn't show who her father actually was. Mitch was evil and abused Amy when she was fragile and vulnerable, she was dying and he forced her to perform.

Romantic obsession is a result of childhood trauma- particularly neglect and abandonment issues. I watched the Amy documentary on HBO and got a really negative impression of Amy’s dad. When such young adults have substance abuse issues so early in life it always makes me wonder what role the parents played in bringing that out in their kid.

I appreciate Abela doing all the singing. When acting, especially portraying a real person, you need to be who you're portraying as much as possible. To be them in a scene then cut to lip syncing can seperate you from the character making you feel like your cosplaying someone instead of being someone which is what you need for something like this.

As rewritten as it was, I cried a little, and sang along to Back to Black and Rehab.

I wasn’t expecting to like it but ended up loving it. It’s no small task playing Amy but the actress did an incredible job in my opinion.

Seeing them romanticising Blake made my stomach turn. Throughout the whole movie I was asking myself "are they really attempting to make Amy seem more abusive in this relationship here?"

I personally felt like the made Amy's entire existence tied to Blake. She did her whole album based off of him, got sober because he did, OD and died because she heard about his news. I obviously never really knew Amy, but I'd like to think Blake didn't have such an effect on her.

I’m an Amy fan through and through. I listen to her music all the time, still to this day, I knew who Blake was and I remember hearing about her death fondly. I truly thought the film was very interesting. Obviously it’s a biopic, there’s bound to be heart crushing moments that may have never happened in actuality, but cmon it’s a movie not a documentary . It won’t get everything right. I’m just glad the fans (like me) liked it

After watching the film I feel the movie was based around her song Back to Black hence the title of the film,as the song was about her relationship with Blake which is maybe why her relationship was romantized to show how it played out and effected her🤔

Thank you for the update, MsMojo..!! She left us far too soon. May she rest in peace.. 🙏

I think we need to remember that the film is only 2 hours so it can't show all her close moments with her friends, all her times going to rehab or doing drugs so I can understand why those parts don't feature as much. As for Blake, idk about others watching, but I felt that he was portrayed in a very negative light- he manipulated her, used her when she was famous, was always keeping one foot out the door...how could you watch this and think he was being treated in a sympathetic light is beyond me! The only person who was portrayed in a sympathetic light was her dad, who shouldn't have been- he obviously helped with the film so they couldn't show how manipulative he really was but really they shouldn't have collaborated with him and shown a more truthful image of him. As for the Blake focus, it makes sense considering this film centers around her Back to Black album which is about him.

When it is mentioned that the film does not show all the times that Amy was being pushed to go back to rehab, especially given how we know how her story ends (though in truth, it continues and always will).....I felt that seeing her being pushed, forced, pulled, shoved to go to rehab only to end up back in bad shape, is not something we need to see over and over again as we know it happened so it would be repetitive and tragic, more tragic than it already is. I understand that most of us go to films to escape our own realities so to go overboard, regardless if it is true or not, on rehab attempts, might just push us over the edge. On a personal note, I wish they would make a film, or a few, about entertainers who we know and appreciate and had to go through a hard time but came out on the bright side of their addictions/mental illnesses, etc. In my case, given the times we are living in as a world, a little hope would, for me, be much appreciated. Have not seen film, yet, as I live in Italy and to see the film in anything but English would be a disappointment (and Italians do not like subtitles, in general). I hope she is at peace, singing with her Nan, wherever it is they are now.

Marisa’s voice is incredible!!!!!❤

Amy’s story would have worked better as a miniseries. Don't get me wrong, Marisa and Jack did well as Amy and Blake respectively despite the lackluster material. Similar to Bob Marley, they both deserve better biopics, preferably miniseries.

I really enjoyed the film. I thought compared to many biopics with many of our adored and favorited artists battling addiction being over focused on that it was the opposite. Right from the jump Amy talked about wanting to do more than music. Which if you seen her interviews over the years she wanted more to life than her job or being famous. I also appreciated the angle they went with Blake. I never understood why Amy was so in love with him but it was nice to see it from her rose colored glasses versus what our biases are. Hes a monster, its his fault. When Amy was her own person and if you ever been in love, love can alter your view and decisions on whats right and wrong. So that was refreshing. I also feel like they touched on drug use but didn’t go into detail because why should that matter? Amy was not her addictions she was more than that. I loved the storyline with her and her Nana too. What was missing was her close friends. Again, I really enjoyed the movie. I believe the actor got her presence and that made me happy.

I think Abela did an amazing job! No, she’s not going to sound exactly like Amy, but I think she did a damn good job. The relationship with her nan, really hit close to home for me. No biopic is going to be 100% correct. Mitch was definitely not the best person for her. Her and Blake were toxic together, but he shouldn’t be blamed for all of it. Just wish she could’ve stayed sober. Just imagine where she would be now. ❤️ May she RIP!

I saw the movie the night it was released in CT USA . It was portrayed more of a love story than a exceptionally talented writer and singer who was drawn to alcohol and drugs and how she could not control her addiction which lead to her untimely death! I was very disappointed with the ending. It left out her last concert when she was drunk and. Soon died after that terrible performance! Regardless Amy will always be my favorite performer and I hope she will be remembered for her talent and not for her bad choice of loving Blake and her addiction! ,RIP AMY, I love you ❤❤❤ Cindy

i loved the movie it was definitely sad at the end :(

Love the background music

i liked it.

I watched it last week and loved it

How do you completely cut out Mark Ronson??

The first 30 minutes (or so) were awesome to watch. After that, it started jumping around like crazy. Even introducing people (e.g. her flatmate) that we never saw again.

I honestly didn’t think I’d enjoy the movie as much as I did. It was a good movie

I loved Amy Winehouse but I will not be going to see it but everyone to their own

I will never ever ever ever understand why they didn't use Amy's vocals in the movie. Take La Vie En Rose for example, 100% used Edith Piaf's voice the entire time and it was a fantastic movie. Why capture the idea of her performances and not hear the actual performance?

I thought she wore ballet slippers a lot

Very very great epic list I like it a lot very very great job mis mojo one of my absolute favorite list ever 😊❤

I wish they merged both of their voices at least.

I liked it but I didn't love it. It felt rushed and only brushed over her theater school background and getting expelled and all that. I would've liked it to focused a little more on her childhood. And her recovery in Saint Lucia

They have like multiple scenes that were deleted like her recovery lioness era (its even in the trailer where she has the glasses, dress with the gold earring in nyc in the trailer) and how she was sent to the emergency room in 2008 and also They forgot about mark ronson

No, i haven't, so, i don't have any personal thoughts. Happy wednesday afternoon, Emily, take care and God bless you. Greetings from Colombia to you as well.

I love this movie. But it truly threw me back into my deep Bi-Polar depression, a place I haven't been in a long time. I self-harmed when she died and carved a small "A" into my arm and though the scar has faded, it is still there. there. Amy and I were very much alike and i lived my boring drug filled, boyfriend obsessed, depressed life vicariously through her. My obsessions were dug out from a deep box i made in my mental states about her. But I didn't like the new plastic surgeries Amy, almost glad that she was frozen in time to be eternally 27 eternally. Marisa breathed Amy in every scene. I thought she was phenomenal. I loved the movie. It has only a weeks run here due to low attendance. I was surprised there wasnt more people. So now I'll go fornmy fourth time. I wont cry now, I know what I'm walking into. But I've never stopped having Amy in my life every day. I have 8 teeshirts and unusal photos of her decorate my bathroom walls. first time I cried very hard through the whole movie and i was up all night and it completely took over the next day. I thought the movie was very powerful and well done. From 68 year old woman in Florida---oh, and through medicine and therapy, I have my Bi-Polar under control---well this reaction surprised me. It was hard to breathe but I'm OK now...thanks if you read all this- I was hoping I could find a place to get this out...

I'm nit even a fan if Amy Winehouse but I liked the movie

You guys should do a fact and fiction on Argo

This was a great movie sure is it going to be 100%, no course not. The quality of this biopic is up there with Walk The Line.

Loved the movie

This was a great movie. Was it 100% perfect? No, and it was never and could never be a perfect adaptation of her life. But they made a great theatrical look at her life. And made a fan and made me want to research her life more. And in my opinion is the whole purpose for biopics.

I loved the movie!

You actually mention this is Amy's story seen through her eyes, and that is why there are "wrong" elements. She didnt see her dad as remiss, or Blake as the enabler to Class As. Still enjoyed the video

She wore Amys pink cardi for real in the pool hall scene.

Haha thanks. You saved me watching it...if it's not her voice I'm not interested

I liked this movie. I felt I got to know and like her and sad at the demons and vices that killed such a great talent.

The actress was very very good. 😊

Unpopular opinion: Lady Gaga would have been an excellent choice to play Amy Winehouse. Her label made her dye her hair blonde to begin with because they looked so much alike.

I’m excited to see it when it streams. RIP

You can only get so much into the time alotted for a film. Overall I think it was very well done not specifically judgemental. I for one am glad that it wasnt lip synched. Bravo to Marissa for her very hard work to sing and play guitar. She did a very good job at representing Amy. To say that she didnt sing exactly like Amy of course not. She isnt Amy. But close enough to enjoy the film. I give this film an A and will see it again. Bravo to all from the director down to the entire crew. To fill in all of what could not possibly be covered in the movie there is the documentary.

Just saw the movie today 6/6/24, and I felt some parts were not accurate so I’m glad someone made a list of this, but Marisa did a good job though. So this movie was a 7/10

i don´t want to watch it, i feel like i´m going to cry the whole movie, i still miss her...

I want to watch this movie 😊❤

Wasn't really surprised to see her abusive relationship with the man that destroyed her life (along with her dad) being portrayed as something "romantic" it's a Sam Taylor Johnson film after all, last time she made a biopic she ended up grooming her underage lead actor and marrying him

Wow I want to see it badly

This entire film was literally things you can google or KZfaq and see Amy winehouse do.

There will never be another person who will sound like Amy Winehouse.

The film crew undoubtedly put a lot of effort into making the film, but its impact is no greater than that of the documentary released many years ago. What I mean is that it doesn't bring much new to the table.

They should of had RAYE play the role

I loved the movie

Amy Winehouse looks more like the Actress that acted in Hitch with Will Smith.

Amy would’ve hated this. So wrong.

I thought it was a brilliant film, it's still in my mind now

You guys got one of the dates wrong 4:37 it said 2015. She passed in 2011.

My favorite part of the movie was the end. AMY DERSERVED BETTER.

The actress playing amy looks like britney spears.

Typed and erased several times: Just watch it. 10/10 If you're an Amy fan - The voice wont matter- It's her. Marisa Abela GIRL... SOMEONE HAND HER THEE OSCAR .

Who else feels maybe if nan was alive, Amy would have had someone to turn to at least?

Marissa Abella (forgive spelling errors) nailed it. I wish she’d go on tour as sadly I never got to see or hear Amy live.

I think the movie made her dad look like a great dad. I don’t think he was.

I liked back to black

This list contradicts itself.

Was the film perfect? Nope, but it had great moments, Abela’s acting was top notch even if her singing didn’t exactly match Amy’s. I’d say is a good film, won’t win any awards but a story that needed to be told and nope the documentary wasn’t enough.

the movie was so good.

Marisa was excellent. Nobody could have done it better. She should literally win an Oscar for that performance.

I walked out of the cinema, so bad

I want too watch the movie but I can’t get pass the fact that it doesn’t look or sound like her at all. I could appreciate them trying but it looks like it doesn’t do justice at all.

I really liked the movie. And fair play to The actress to bring Amy back to life in her performance. Amy should not be forgot its just nice to see a movie at all. I'm sure the true fans are greatful as I know I am. Excellent Movie.

I felt the film missed out on so much of Amy's life . I was definitely disappointed with it

I like the movie, they did a good job as opposed to what they did with Whitney Houston's bio, and the characters were chosen well. Unfortunately, she was a destructive person 😕

I have an idea why not cast Raye you know the one who sang escapism she sounds and looks more like Amy to me

This movie shouldn't have been made. It was that bad. I liked Abela, it was easy to tell she was better at acting than permitted to be in the movie due to the awful script. They also could have given her better hair and makeup and wardrobe to appear more like Amy. This movie was exploitative and Sam Taylor-Johnson should be lambasted for it she deserves it. Also watch my review and pitch for a better version of an Amy Winehouse movie. Ty

The biopic got the timelines all wrong and rushed her last years aswell as messing up what amy had originally said in interviews!!

For some one to be so lost in her soul. I highly doubt her dad deserved a sepmathetic outlook. You don’t get that lost if you have some you to go to.

I have seen this movie yet, but I did not like the documentary. Amy it concentrated too much on her drug use

Didn't go enough into how she was harassed and hounded by the media as they chased her around Camden They didn't show her humour enough They didn't criticise her Dad enough he was a big part of her downfall yes he adored her that's not in doubt and yes she adored him but he definitely liked her success and tried to push her for more when she wasn't ready Also they didn't give amy enough credit she did a lot better at staying sober at the end it was just one bad relapse that did it I did like how it was fairer to Blake though he wasn't a villain like her family have made him out to be just a deeply damaged individual I think Marisa looked good as an Amy look a like but she didn't capture her personality enough especially that dry sarcastic humour Rip Amy you absolute angel if I had a time machine I wouldn't choose to visit the dinosaurs or go to the far future or see ancient Greece id go to 2006 and try my hardest to help she needed a big hug and someone to tell her she was worth everything because the world feels empty without amy Winehouse we lost something truly special there ❤🖤🎶

If it's released 10 years ago, Lady Gaga should earn the leading role!

I am a huge fan of Amy from beginning of frank. Yes I’m old. It’s hard to say this.but people really need to accept it. Unfortunately Amy had her own addictions. Blake had his. They joined forces and tried different. Because unfortunately that is what addicts do. They both come out of it. Away from each other thankfully. He’s here dealing with the blame. She unfortunately is not here and. It’s so awful but she passed from her own addictions, not what they both took part in

Lady Gaga should have played her

I think the movie was good. isn't that important if they didn't get everything 100% right since it's just a movie. those who wrote the script also know themselves that it is not 100% correct. if you want everything 100% true and right, you'd better just watch the documentary AMY instead to whine and complain. simply.

all of the instrumentation and vocals were wrong in the hole movie

Watched it was impressed with the actress take on amys music shes no amy but nobody is . Made blake look good and amy look bad

How about finding a girl that already looks and sings like her in a tribute band ? They got the actress wrong that’s literally the only thing wrong here 😵‍💫

Absolutely can't stand this women's voice as Amy.

The accent was rubbish. I'm a North Londoner and Marisa was too OTT. It's an entertaining film but so historically inaccurate

What a waste of a life but still a good film but also more could've been adapted or what not, so much that could've been done to showcase more of amy and her life imo

Really disliked the movie. Actor that portrayed Amy was not great. Made me really sad.

la actriz no tiene absolutamente nada que ver con amy, muy mal el casting, arrancando de ahi , todo un gran no
