I can't speak on how historically accurate this movie is because I didn't follow Amy's life or career at any point really. I think her voice was great and she could certainly knock out some tunes, that's about as far as my knowledge goes on her. With that said, nothing about the footage stood out to me as astounding or particularly creative, which could be a conscious choice as to not "get in the way" of the story, although I do tend to prefer a little bit of visual flair regardless. On the whole, this movie certainly left me with a lot to think about, and that to me points to a well-made piece of art. I do think Amy Winehouse deserves a proper biopic and so I hope this did her justice, but again I simply do not know. I recommend giving this a watch if you're even mildly interested, but I would advise anyone with drug related trauma to carefully consider whether you should. Back to Black doesn't pull its punches, as one should expect.
