Ratings and Reviews

However, they - in particular, Amy's father, Mitch Winehouse - soon began to feel they were being misrepresented in the documentary, that the negative aspects of Amy's life were receiving much more attention than the positive, and that footage had been edited in order to produce an inaccurate narrative of Amy's story, especially the last three years of her life. Mitch Winehouse has said that Amy's fans should consider seeing the film for the rare, previously unseen, archive footage of his daughter, but should pay no attention to the film's general portrayal of her, which he has labeled "preposterous".

She was a very old soul in a very young body. Connections Referenced in De slimste mens ter wereld: Add the first question. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No Report this.

Honestly though, I think her life could have turned that way even if she wasn't famous.

Amy ( film) - Wikipedia

She just seemed very self destructive in personality. I don't personally love her style of music, but she did have talent and you can see that from the lyrics she wrote and of course her beautiful voice. I did feel quite sad for her, but on the other hand she really needed a kick a few times in her life.

You can blame the parents, which she did, but at some point you're an adult and need to take responsibility for your own life choices. Not to sound harsh, I realise some people just can't. Amy was clearly one of them. This film does a good job of letting you see the Amy behind the horror stories. Not only is this an emotional story to tell, but her music truly did change the lives of people around her, as well as her family, whom had neglected her. This is a very unconventional documentary in style and tone. I loved watching this film, although it does feel it's length.

To really get everything out of this picture that you hope to, I fell that you must be a huge fan of Amy Winehouse to begin with. I really enjoyed this film, because I respect her music and most of what she stood for, the troubles aside.

The people in her life respected and adored her most of the time, so once the down spiral happens, it is extremely impactful and it truly is the core of this story. Her music even affected world renowned musicians and that is what gave me chills. Young people who die are always martyrs. Throw in some celebrity, or better yet, worldwide popularity and glamour, and you have one of the most devastating public mournings in history.

So it was with Amy Winehouse, a woman who never was left alone, whose music was so classic and jazzy that everyone took notice. Troubled from the start, Amy never quite found a way to be happy, making her a tragic figure, and a talent lost too soon.

Part of the 27 Club that houses, Morrison, Cobain, Joplin, etc. Winehouse feared her own demise, and did so rightly.

Amy received critical acclaim. The site's consensus reads, "As riveting as it is sad, Amy is a powerfully honest look at the twisted relationship between art and celebrity—and the lethal spiral of addiction. Robbie Collin from The Telegraph rated the film as four out of five stars and praised the fact that "Amy Winehouse's glorious rise and heartbreaking fall is movingly documented by the director of Senna. Peter Bradshaw from The Guardian gave the film five out of five, describing it as "a tragic masterpiece", and saying, "This documentary about the late British soul singer is an overwhelmingly sad, intimate—and dismaying—study of a woman whose talent and charisma helped turn her into a target".

The documentary has recorded the biggest ever opening weekend for a British documentary in the UK, and the second biggest discounting concert films of all time. The film has been heavily criticised by Winehouse's father, Mitch Winehouse.

Hi, I’m Amy.

He has distanced himself from the documentary, stating the film is "misleading" and "contains some basic untruths", according to his spokesman. There is no balance, there's nothing about the foundation. It's portraying me and Amy in not a very good light. However, he also said that the film contains "superb" and "beautiful" footage of Winehouse. But then the other part of me is saying maybe go see the videos, put your headphones in and listen to Amy's music while they're watching the videos.

It's the narrative that's the problem. Universal Music instigated the documentary but they only secured the cooperation of the singer's parents, Mitch and Janis Winehouse, when they signed up Kapadia as the director for the film. Winehouse's father, who was a fan of the director's previous documentary film Senna , wanted the same treatment to be given to his late daughter's documentary.

However, upon watching the completed film about Winehouse, Mitch was unhappy with how the film portrayed him. Feeling he had been portrayed as the villain, Mitch threatened legal action until limited changes were made to the film. However, he has still publicly condemned the final cut of the film, claiming that Kapadia had an agenda to make him the anti-hero from the start.

Mitch requested that he wants the film to be further edited, but the film crew have declined his wish, adding: On 3 July the day Amy was initially released , the singer's father, Mitch appeared on Loose Women to defend his place against the film and announced that himself and Winehouse's former boyfriend, Reg Traviss are making an alternative film, entitled A Letter To Amy , so it's a "more accurate" project, to "correct all the wrongs and omissions" that were in Kapadia's film.
