Rosie Tattersall

What a disappointment. A five minute search on YouTube would reveal more interesting and joyful footage of Winehouse. The director claims he gets past the tabloid version of Amy in this film but I didn’t feel that at all. The film conveys the classic story of vulnerable artist being exploited and ruined by fame, and then cashes in on that same basis by focussing on the darkest moments of Amy’s life, as if we didn’t see enough of that already.
