Review of Amy (2015) by Tony D — 27 May 2016
The irreverent, knowing, defiant, original young jazz singer who charmed and troubled our ears in the early 2000s lives again in Amy. But this is no concert film or tribute. This film unblinkingly explores Winehouse's "mile wide" "self destructive side.
" Long strings of autobiographical lyrics unfold in family and studio footage documenting loss, depression, rebellion, bulimia, bad romantic relationships, alcoholism, music business exploitation, and Winehouse's hidden fragility, her fundamental unreadiness for fame's pitfalls.
