"It just missed soo much. I felt like the movie wasn’t complete, I know Blake was a big part of her story but they solely focused on their relationship rather than her actual life."

"A bio pic about Amy Winehouse. This story features her relationship with her family, which could not save her from her impulsive and excessive substance choices. Marisa Abela plays a fresh faced Amy. The movie features many of Winehouse’s hits."

"*Spoiler alert* I kept delaying this movie because of negative reviews by movie critics. Aside from the abrupt ending which made it feel that there was more to Amy’s story that perhaps her family didn’t want to share, this movie was really good, portraying how her heart was hurt on multiple occasions by the love of her life, pressures of paparazzis when all she wanted was not fame but to love and have a family, death of the closest person to her her Nan, struggling with bulimia, the somewhat disbelief she is an addict by her father who did not pressure his daughter to seek help despite several glaring evidence, all contributed to her downfall and eventually sudden death. I never knew Amy struggled so much. Her story was a sad one. A talent gone way too soon. But there is so much of her life story missing from this movie including her brother and mother who appeared once and that was it. Felt a bit rushed. "

"The writers of this movie wrote it from her songs, and how they interpreted them. It was about her husband and the love she had for him. All the great ones die way to young "

"It was a relief and refreshing change to the Hollywood style. It was a unique movie with a limited artistic display in the film. The music was great and the actress was phenomenal. It was heartbreaking and comedic all in once. I highly recommend as it’s like looking at a singers life through their eyes. "

"Misses so much nuance into Amy’s life. The ending is awkward and hollow. I wouldn’t watch this movie again. It’s a skip, for sure."
