Things Back To Black Left Out About Amy Winehouse's True Story 

What did you think of "Back to Black?"

I enjoyed the movie. My only criticism is that it was about 60 percent Blake obsession 40 percent career moments. I would like to have seen more writing and studio sessions with salaam remi and mark ronson. Shoulda called it Back to Blake.

I wish they’d give the actress a break cause it’s not like she wrote the script or anything she just followed what the directors and writers did it’s her job

Very shallow picture of Amy. With censored version of her father.

I don’t like the movie. Documentary “Amy” is way better

1:06 No Amy WAS expelled from the Sylvia Young Theatre School. In a BBC women's hour interview around 2003/4, she directly stated she was expelled because academically, she wasn't getting the results that the school wanted. There's even a line in 'Rehab' that goes "didn't get a lot in class, but I know it don't come in a shot glass." The school and her father would deny that because they don't want to admit they kicked out one of the greatest singers of all time and to stop more bad press for Amy, respectively.

Horrible movie. They acted like her father didn’t exploit her

The fact that it didn't even show her writing her music (besides that 3 min scene of her writing what is it about men) or her with her producers. There was that whole scene of her with her nan singing body and soul by Tony Bennett and they didn't even show the part of her life where she actually recorded with Tony and how incredible that was for Amy to record with her IDOL. It didn't show how truly funny she was, how she was at the height of her fame when she was heavily addicted, it also kind of romanticized Blake, and it didn't show how truly awful he was for her. it makes me so mad and angry. I'm so sorry Amy :(

How about telling the story of Blake stealing money from Prince at his live 21 shows in London 2007? So many true stories were not included in this film which is a real shame.

Her father is something else I tell u....smh

Her dad killed her. He was the one that told the media where she was when she would go to rehabs and that’s why she always left them. He sold is daughter out for cash.

Yes, the movie sanitized Blake a lot.

The actress portraying her is 27. That’s the same age Amy passed away. This isn’t the 90s or early 00s anymore where biopics were actually good. Nowadays writers, directors and heck even Family members will do anything to water down the truth about these celebrity biopics. Michael Jackson’s is coming out about a year from now and even with his family involved with the movie, I don’t think his is gonna be as good either.

They missed the mark with this film. Did not understand the casting, the pacing, etc. The mystery and depth to Winehouse' life was not remotely reflected. It was frustrating to watch.

Very sad the way she died . Such a talent . I haven’t been to the movies in ages . I haven’t seen it . Too bad she is gone . I remember being sad when I heard the news because I really thought she would beat her addictions but it really wasn’t a surprise either . I hope Amy is at peace 🕊️ now

She should still be here ❤ I miss her so much.

I haven’t seen the movie yet (can’t wait!) but am I the only one who thinks that the actress looks just like Brittney Spears?!

It’s sad that the movie is not a fitting tribute to Amy. It’s so sad that she almost made it. This is a frequent pattern, in the recovery field I’m in. A little known fact that might help people with Substance Use Disorder more than education about tolerance (which most know) is that the brain doesn’t recover from addiction as quickly as people’s tolerance drops. Because of this, the addiction sufferer needs to take more of the substance to achieve the desired effect, even though their body can’t handle it. Your brain will tell you that you need, and can handle, more than your body and/or Central Nervous System, in fact, can. You may not feel drunk or high, but drinking or using more is extremely dangerous, after a period, or periods, of abstinence.

Such a great film I’m obsessed

The movie is good, I really enjoyed it and Marissa gives a great performance of Amy. It does however give a kind impression of Blake and Mitch which isn't accurate.

The movie was kinda unnescesary bc it didnt show the true essence of amy , just copied some if the already existing clips of her. tho the scenes with her grandma were new to me.

Heartbreaking poor Amy needed help. Rip 🙏

The actress was EXCELLENT ❤❤❤ we know it wasn’t 100% accurate but it was not that bad, I’m glad I saw it as I’ve been waiting for a while to see it

We already have an award winning documentary, and we have her music. That’s enough.

You can only cram so much in a 2 hour flick

🙏🙌

He dad was a jerk. what a shame.

She looks like Brittany Spears dressing up like Amy

I would have liked more on her career it just seemed the focus on her addictions

I could not agree more!!! The movies was inaccurate on so many levels.

I thought Back to Black was FAR MORE TRUTHFUL AND ACCURATE than many other biopics such as Bohemian Rhapsody, Sully, Money Ball or Blackberry.

She must have been grieving Cynthia on top of other things. In the opening sing-a-long, the actor playing Mitch danced quite camp-like, which was slightly disconcerting, after which his performance shored up. When Jack O'Connell appeared as Blake he was very natural and worked well with the lead actress, I think they both did great acting jobs and you believed in them. I preferred the more macho Blake, not during the camp-song-miming scene in the rough pub, with guys drinking beer and playing pool in the background. Real Amy's voice sent shivers down my spine, and I wish someone could have spoken to her as a friend from the heart about not going where angels fear to tread. She wanted to be a mother, but drink, drugs and the wrong diet would make it very difficult to fall pregnant. She wanted to be the mum to the little girl in the shop scene, which felt like the little girl's family must surely be evangelical? There were some leaps required by the viewers during the film. The irony of 'drugs are for mugs', she perishes, whilst Blake lives on and as I understand had a child with Sarah. Amy got great tunes out of their dodgy love dynamic and traumas, but isn't here to hear her own magic, whereas we can still tune in. People in the cinema said sad and tragic. There were moments of humour in the script, I'd like to have heard more of that subtle humour. The ending seemed like the budget was running thin and no mention of Blake on those end statements. Maybe there could have been more pathos here and there, even a cemetery scene or image? I haven't seen the Amy documentary, so it will be interesting to compare.

Havent seen the movie , but the world has lost a real talent ...

I liked the movie, but I didn’t like how they positively portrayed her father as a loving and doting father. The guy was a monster who cared more about money than his own daughter.

I thought that it was something I’d watch on lifetime. The actress was too soft to play Amy and it was embarrassing to watch her try to impersonate the little artistic twitch that Amy had in her shoulder. They left out way too much. It probably should’ve been a longer movie. Lady Gaga would’ve killed it if she played Amy. I just hope they make another movie and put everything in there that they left out. There is even more to her and Blake. Or… perhaps a miniseries since it’s a long story, although she died young.

The greatest tragedy is not that Amy Winehouse is dead but that Pete Doherty is still alive.

The main thing they left out is that Amy is now gaga

She looks more like Cher Lloyd

I my opinion I feel that the movie was too rushed I just got done watching the movie why the beginning is starting when she was a teen like go all the way back to where she was a child

So grateful to @friendlyjordies for exposing the shitty judge too as well as the Injustice of this whole situation

I thought bad things about mitch too, until i read his book he wrote titled "Amy my daughter" i love amy winehouse she's my all time favorite, but mitch went thru alot trying to get Amy clean. He loved his daughter and took care of her. Nobody is perfect

This movie looks awful....this director keeps ruining movies.

Mitch.....getting Rich. How much money did he get?

You got 2 "facts " wrong Winehouse grew up with 2 girl"s called JULIET ASHBY & Lauren Gilbert. There is authentic photo documentation of their relationships. Sadly, yet another a tatty makemoneyforus effort.

Back to Black could've been WAY more successful but no... this is the work of fart they could come up with. I won't support such a money grab and yes Amy would love a biopic BUT it's not expressive enough. It doesn't feel like Amy Winehouse. It feels like Amy Housewine. Tf they do her like this 😒

The movie was absolute trash, it really was, Im pretty sure her cheeks were slighty chubby, I felt like her hairstylists was messy, I felt like they focused on the toxic men in her life, if you are gonna do a biopic on someone please do it correctly. This is up there with the BoB Marley One Love

If she had a different father yes she will be still around .Amy was nothing to her father expect a $ sing .When you see your child drowning you'll move earth and heaven to help not exposing her to press when she needs her private time away to heal ? Blake healed because he has parents who cares for him .

This movie is a farce Someone’s going to make money from a talented artist and make a garbage bio pic with no effort based on facts. Nerdy lazy pic for such an authentic artist.

T R A S H

The actress looks nothing like her

They could have chosen someone who at least looks like Amy, her energy is nothing like Amys either. No way to relate. Im thiking Not. Her greatest love introduced her to her second greatest love that killed her. Tell the truth. RIP

Why use that picture as the thumbnail? People are making this movie sound worse than it actually is smh.

First of all the girl is playing Amy winehouse needs to go she's no good she doesn't look like her so you need to look at rumer Willis she will play a good anyway else think about that person get the one on TV now off

Looks terrible.

I won’t be watching it at all number one because the woman in the movie used her own voice and not Amy Winehouse. One of the most unique things about Amy Winehouse was her voice. I would not want to hear somebody else sing her song so I have no desire to see it for that simple reason but I can also tell that the movie wasn’t done right just from the little bit of previous so I won’t be watching it at all. I’ll wait for somebody else to play Amy Winehouse and do it better and I’ll wait for somebody else to write a better script and I’ll watch it then, I won’t watch this at all and I hope the movie completely fails I’m not even gonna watch you review but I just want to leave my comment because I can’t stand the woman playing her. She looks nothing like Amy Winehouse. I believe this movie was made just to get this woman’s singing career going kinda like they did with Jennifer Lopez and Selena. They just use anybody but this thing about Selena is Jennifer Lopez new better than to use her voice this woman didn’t you’re playing a legendary singer? In my opinion why would you use your own disgusting voice to play somebody else who’s all legit? I have no respect for this woman. No respect for the actress. No respect for the people who made the movie and wrote the movie let somebody else do the movie.

She just didn't care.
