Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Interesting music biography about Amy Winehouse. Even if it's not your kind of music her story is worth to be told and filmed. It's not my kind of music, besides a couple numbers that I like, but the documentary is captivating. Seeing how a talented young woman destroys her life with alcohol and drugs could be an example for the next generation. An example on how not to go on that path. The turning point in her life was falling in love with Blake Fielder. He's just the kinda guy a girl like Amy should never have met. With her tendencies of addiction falling in love with a druggie like him could only mean her downfall. She might look strong at some points but she's obviously also very vulnerable. Her dedication to her husband and her father were not the smartest moves in her short life. Would she still be alive without meeting him? We will never know. Amy is full of unseen footage from her childhood till her dead and for fans a must see. But even for people like me it's certainly worth a watch.

The documentary is about the great jazz- slash pop singer Amy Winehouse, how she lived her life, her passion for her music, and at the end, at the age 27 sadly died from her many years of bulimia, drug and alcohol abuse.I personally think that the documentary is a great idea, to give an insight of what the great British singer struggled with on and of the stage. No life is perfect, but that may be an underestimation for Amy's life. The only thing that brought pure happiness and joy to the life she lived, was when she wrote her songs, played her music and were with the love of her life, Blake. It's definitely a very strong telling and got my mind start questioning some things, but also cleared some things I have been asking myself earlier before I watched the documentary. For example is her lyrics more understandable to me now. I know now that "stronger than me" is about her older boyfriend who became the woman in their relationship as the time went by, "back to black" is Amys relationship to Blake before he left his former girlfriend, where he played ping-pong between these two relationships, but particularly her prizewinning hit "rehab" have crossed my mind many times, but now I understand the lyric perfectly. I have often wondered why her dad was mentioned, that she didn't wanted to go to rehab, and her dad agreed that it wasn't necessary. I never understood that part, but now I know this was the reality. Amys father had her unconditionally love, and that was a priceless power to give the man, who abandoned his family when Amy was about seven or ten years old. I'm torn between what I think about how the documentary is put together. I like the idea that it's videotapes from her whole life that have been put together, and then having the people who meant something in her life talking in the meanwhile, but then again it's just a shame that the quality is really shitty, because of a lot of shaking hands holding the cameras. But when that have been said I think it's an extremely teach-full documentary that I probably will look back at when I see or hear about another famous person who is being followed and getting a hard time from the journalists and his/hers fans.

In this documentary, we follow Amy Winehouse through her journey towards becoming a highly admired and world known artist. We get a look inside her mind, and an insight in how she felt and acted when she was alone or with friends, with no cameras rolling. We see how her music was her savior, but also her destruction. She wasn't meant for a life like a celebrity, and a dangerous combination of her becoming so, and getting into a very stormy relationship ended up with her dead by a heart attack caused by a serious abuse of alcohol and drugs.I find that this documentary is heartbreaking and dark, but in a good way. It truly describes Amy's life for better or for worse. I have never been a big fan of Amy, and the only thing I ever remember hearing about her was from my mom when I was little. She was quite upset on the day of her death, and wouldn't stop talking about what a shame it was. Back then I didn't really put a lot of thought into it, but while watching this movie I truly understood how sad a story it actually is. She sure had an outstanding talent, but she was just never meant to be famous. She struggled a lot with her mind, and yet her managers - and even her own dad - kept her in the spotlight at all times. In the beginning her music was her savior when she went through a rough time. It helped her get over heartbreaks, and process her thoughts and feelings. And what a shame it is that something that beautiful and peaceful must be consumed by fame, paparazzi's and the media. I must admit that with the pressure she was under twenty-four-seven it doesn't surprise me that she reached a point where she couldn't take it anymore. She was a fragile and misunderstood human, but the surrounding world didn't take this into consideration. What makes this documentary so outstanding and probably one of the best I have seen is, that it hasn't been made to entertain. It has been made to tell a story, and because it is so raw, it gets truly sincere. It's an honorable attempt at showing her meaningful lyrics, and great successes, but at the same time the self-harming and declines from where it all first started.

This documentary was good there was a lot OFF many point in it, there winkles was really good, hes life was awfully on because OFF TV and radio and papers. It was a real sad ending but some people Can stop drink and take drugs. She was toff on the on side but in side was sne a person in sadness
