Thank you so much for your very direct review. I love Amy and her music so much I have been very suspicious of this film from the start. Still, I've contemplated sucking up my fears and giving it a shot. You have saved me from that fuckery. Bless you!
No problem, thanks for watching! We recommend seeing her Documentary 'Amy' it's really good and has archive footage from the early stages of her career
I actually just watched it, and I am very critical of biopics. I love Amy’s music and style. This film doesn’t paint her in a “bad light.” If anything, it holds back on just how fucked up and sick she was. She needed better care and longer sobriety time. She just didn’t have it. I cannot diagnose the woman, but she was obviously an addict, a bulimic, an alcoholic, and I suspect she had Borderline Personality Disorder. She needed real help, many years before she received it. The film has a lot of heart. I absolutely think it’s worth a watch.
Blake was romanticized because the film is told from Amy’s point of view. No matter what, she loved that man. Also, you cannot blame another person for her addiction. Her addiction to alcohol began years before she met Blake, and alcohol is what killed Amy. This is giving the same energy as people who still fucking blame Bobby Brown for what happened to Nippy (Whitney Houston). No one can force anyone to be an addict.
In the 2015 documentary her friends state something along the lines of 'whatever blake did amy would want to do also' kinda insinuating that she was so in love with the man that she would genuinely be willing to get addicted to drugs just to impress him. Obviously it was amys choice to do the drugs but blake was one of the only people who supply amy with drugs even after the hell it caused her in her life and so he fuelled her addiction. Amy, the documentary, was made entirely through archival footage of her life and interviews with people in her life such as blake so whatever you take away from the documentary is yours to take away as its an unbiased perspective. Back to Black is a hollywood romanticised telling of Amys life that doesnt have the balls to say anything and likes to make shit up, even if those things seem small, just to tell its narrative. The movie doesnt delve into Amys addiction beyond the surface level and it doesnt try to say anything about anyone in amys life such as blake or her father and so the film fails to say anything and can be dangerous to people who are learning about Amy through the movie and insulting to fans of hers, hints the controversy.
