Five stars for the actress who walked and spoke just like Amy who’s mannerisms were just like hers, too and I must say about the casting of Jack O’ Connell as Blake….just lol
But my gripe with making a film about Amy’s life is why have all the whole focus on relative small part of her life which was Blake? They wasn’t star crossed lovers or Romeo & Juliet, they had a chaotic, co-dependent drug relationship and that was the main thing about the film, her talent seemed second place and what about her next relationship? Her engagement with Reg? And what about her times in Jamaica, her clean time there just weeks before she died, where she was doing better and was healthier than she had been in ages, where her father, with a negligent blasé of her needs, turned up in Jamaica with a camera crew, to shockingly risk his daughters clean time, respect and wishes to further his own career ? (SHE TOLD HIM “DO NOT COME TO JAMAICA, LEAVE ME ALONE TO GET WELL, DAD!”)
It’s actually a shame as it could have been a great film, but at best it was forgettable.
