Singer Amy Winehouse wrote and recorded the groundbreaking album "Back to Black" inspired by her tumultuous relationship with Blake Fielder-Civil.
"Back to Black" is a biopic that respectfully portrays the life of a talented but troubled singer. While it deviates from the typical biopic tropes, it may be difficult for those unfamiliar with the singer to follow. The film starts slowly, but picks up pace with a mid-way montage that could have been placed earlier for a better flow. Marisa Abela gives an impressive performance and her singing voice is outstanding.
Although I recommend the film, it doesn't offer anything new and at times, it struggles to depict Winehouse's story cohesively.
