Giving this a 7/ 10
I know nothing about Amy Winehouse, other than she sang, and died young, that's it. So this was an eye opener of a great film. Director, Sam Taylor-Johnson, does a very good job on what must be the most toughest music star biopic, has she did not have a good time from what is contained in this film, but that does not mean it's not fun at all, there is good humour to be had and the film is beautiful and full of vibrant colours and settings.
Marisa Abela really is a true knockout as, Amy, and she can sing, move and dress the part, which is never easy, as you can't really ask the person you are playing, since they died way back. Eddie Marsan and Jack O'Connell do not waste their roles and along with the ever great, Lesley Manville, I got a great feel of the cast and the story, as tragic as it may be, the music is brilliant and with Nick Cave and Warren Ellis musical touch, it is way up there.
I would give it a higher rating of 8, if I knew much more about Amy, so I could compare to what is true and is been hyped up for dramatic purposes. So this is still very good entertainment, that I really enjoyed in Cineworld Superscreen.
