Amy collects a series of intimate interviews with the late songstress to tell her story in her own words, with scattered observations from the people who surrounded her, some of whom need a good punch square in the face.
When she was happy, Winehouse was a beautiful, funny, shy talent that glowed with tenderness, love and wonder. However when her demons got the best of her, she was crass, unsightly and void of a care in the world. The film portrays her as a victim to a world around that wanted nothing but to expose her talents for greed, self-service and made no apology at taking cruel potshots at her personal struggles. As depressing as it all is, the film also shines a well-deserved spotlight on her inspiring talents, person and the passion she brought to the world.
I wasn't all that familiar with her work before this film but I've since become a fan.
