I saw it and there are scenes where you could swear it is Amy on screen for a second. Marisa did her justice.

@amieewoodstock6978 Месяц назад

So glad you said that! She captured Amy’s spirit x

@markwilkinson-cw2sy Месяц назад

I agree with you. Even though she doesn’t look identical something in those scenes made her look exactly like her. It must have been the acting. She was amazing

@linamarie84 День назад

Please don't do this. There is a very big distinction between the word dislike and hate. Each word is characterized by the emotion it is fueled with. There is NO "hatred" here. There are many people that do not believe she did Amy Justice and there are many people who did not like the film in general and others who did not like her singing. While yes there are others who do, and like it very much. That doesn't mean that those who do not are being hateful. Every one is entitled to their own opinion in this world. A mere disagreement or dislike does not equate to opinion made with disdain. You are entitled to love it and praise it just as the next person is entitled to dislike it.

@anitarogers2877 Месяц назад

@This Morning - Marissa Abela is clearly a lovely respectful person and human being. She totally researched everything about Amy Winehouse so as to give her justice in such a film as this representation of her as a person, her life and music. For that reason, Marissa was the perfect actress for this special role. To all those in the comments that are being completely disrespectful to the actress Marissa herself, simply because they are unhappy this film was made at all, be happy and respectful that this calibre of person and talented woman was chosen for this iconic role.

casting directors should get awards. Marisa is Amy. I am usually such a critic but this time no. I saw Amy live and Marisa had her off to a tee. She had me captured from the beginning. A great talent and wish her the best of luck for the future. I think she''ll win awards for this. love and light

@stevej061069 10 дней назад

Saw it today. She was superb, simple as that. The subtle little moves while singing, that somewhat awkward dancing Amy did on stage - she was a fabulous singer but one thing she wasn't was a trained dancer - and Marisa caught that brilliantly. As for the singing; Amy Winehouse has a unique and instantly recognisable vocal style and Marisa came very very close at times to capturing that. So much so that, unless you've listened really closely to Amy singing these songs and you've noted all the subtle nuances of her phrasing and delivery you'd be hard pushed at times to tell the difference. An award-worthy performance and I hope she gets the recognition she deserves.

I saw the film yesterday and it was Amazing! There were times were she almost looked identical to Amy and she sounded great. I know this films getting a lot of stick and bad feedback but it’s honestly such a great biopic. I went into this loving Amys music but not know much about her, it was so sad but told beautifully. People saying “oh cast Raye, Lady Gaga instead!” NO ONE will ever beat Amy Winehouse, she was her own person her own voice. I think Marisa did an amazing job at portraying her. Definitely go and watch this film
