Amy

"Amy" - it's a film that makes you angry and sad about losing Amy Winehouse so early. When she died in 2011, she left behind just two albums: "Frank" and my favourite, "Back to Black" which, without a doubt, is one of the most amazing albums of the 21th century. Every single song on this record is written with emotion and sung with brilliance.
Whether you love her music, "Amy" is a biographical documentary about one and only, Amy Winehouse, which maybe it's not a knockout but it's still worth seeing.

Asif Kapadia, the director,  reconstructs the life of a woman whose reputation became the sum total of her most public sins.
Kapadia reconstructs every step of her journey toward becoming a celebrity that she even admitted she wasn't ready to be. ( she said: "I don't think I'll be famous. I don't think I could handle it, I think I'd go mad.")
Kapadia assembles a portrait of Amy Winehouse that's not just surprising in its coherence, but how it illustrates her consistency of character.

Amy Winehouse was a true musicial artist. Throughout her work, she literally poured her heart into her music. The songs are the key - and "Amy" make you realise they always were. Winehouse's music was intensely autobiographical. Kapadia runs the lyrics on the screen, quietly drawing attention to the many contact points between her life and art.
Whether she was goofing around with friends, singing, spending time with her family, she was always herself, always feeling the truth of the moment she was.
"Amy" depicts her as an artist intent on putting her whole self into the song she wrote and as someone who was always frank and honest.
Despite what many people think, she did not glorify drugs and abuse. She worked really hard. She was constantly searching to better heself.
