A tragic waste.

This 2-hour celebrity documentary takes a close-up look at the short, but ambitious, life of popular British singer/songwriter, Amy Jade Winehouse (1983-2011). Through interviews, stills, and concert footage the viewer is given a fairly…

Very powerful documentary. The destructive effect of drugs in the music industry is sad.

Most viewers are going to come to the film with some previous knowledge of Winehouse's talents, shortcomings and fatal flaw(s). This film adds detail and a timeline with names and faces as it goes into her personal story. Using a variety…

Watching the movie "The Rose" (Bette Midler) which is supposed to be about Janis Joplin, I can draw some parallel between its story and Amy Winehouse's. Sad and tragic !

I can't remember if I've already commented on this movie -- but it's a fantastic documentary, which clearly shows Amy Winehouse's immense talent. I'm not a fan of soul/jazz/R&B in general, but she was amazing. A tragic loss,…

Well. Was glad I decided to tackle this documentary. I was afraid it was going to be very superficial. Instead, I came away with an appreciation of this 'pop phenomenon' as an artist and human being. It's left me noticing how many…

I was heartbroken when Amy Winehouse died. She was so much more talented than most popular musicians these days, that it felt like a real injustice. (Not that there is justice in the universe, but grief is not logical.) I remember the…

This movie didn't cover Amy's story quite as well as I had hoped it would. However, it was lovely to see her perform and my heart just broke all over again to watch her struggle and know how it ended. For fans: if you have watched this and…

I loved Amy through out her career and I held off on watching this movie because I was afraid it was going to focus more on her downfall, then her as a whole. Boy, was I pleasantly surprised and proved wrong when I finally gave into…

Amazing talent surrounded by scum. Including her father. Very sad.

I was never a fan of Amy's more mainstream music however watching this doc I actually loved her classic Jazz sound and would have preferred if she stuck to that type of music rather than what her music turned into (I absolutely hated the…

Given that this film won an Oscar, I was expecting something much more interesting. I suppose I might've enjoyed it more if I were a fan of Amy's music, but I was rather bored during the first 20 minutes--all we see are videos of her…

The whole Amy Winehouse story is just sad. From her deep, unresolved need for attention from her father (who wasn't in her life until she started being famous and making money), to the boyfriend/husband (and also her father) who supported…

Although not a fan of Jazz, there is no denying Amy had an amazing vocal talent. It was so sad to see the struggles she went through, particularly with paparazzi. It would take a particularly strong person to handle that type of personal…

Good documentary and reminder that Amy was a lot more than the drug-addicted mess she became. Thought it ran a bit long at over two hours; could have used more editing. Liked the idea of showing her lyrics while hearing her singing. She…

Wow- a well done doc with a significant twist. The narrative by Amy herself, as well as her friends and family, take pace behind the live action of Amy living out her life I uncovered a tormented but very deep woman who recognized her…

Shows real video of Amy portraying the artist in her early years and her struggles and transformation with commentary from those who shaped her life the most.

What sets AMY apart from other cautionary documentaries of other famous (and dysfunctional) celebrities who succumb to alcohol and drug abuse is the use of archival clips, thanks mainly to the penchant of Winehouse’s generation to document…

I really didn't know too much about Amy Winehouse excepted for the tabloids and news reports showing the train wreck she had become during her career. Although I did see her perform with Tony Bennett on the Duets DVD which was incredible.…

This is a story of a girl. Yes she sang great music and had a troubled life, but in the end she was someone's friend, someone's daughter and someone we can all relate to as a young girl who had talent. This documentary presents Amy's voice…

I approached this documentary as a music fan, but not really as a fan of Amy Winehouse. Yeah, I liked her voice, but I felt that the British singer doing American soul and jazz had been done. She only put out two studio albums in her short…
