Internet is raving about 'Back to Black' biopic

Fans are flocking to social media to rave about 'Back to Black', the new Amy Winehouse biopic. Many praise the film's emotional portrayal and Marisa Abela's performance capturing Amy's spirit. Several tweets mention the movie's bittersweet tone, highlighting both Amy's talent and her struggles.

With the movie's theater release, fans of the iconic singer called it a must watch, one wrote: "Saw a cool bio pic today, "Back to Black," about Amy Winehouse, the talented British singer that passed away in 2011. This is a movie for teens and adults; you leave it with a sense that a great talent was lost too soon."

While another fan penned, a little review claiming how touching the biopic of Amy Winehouse is: "BackToBlack movie review: enjoyed this film far more than I anticipated. I was never the biggest fan of Amy Winehouse because she was just a bit too much of a mess, but her voice and music will always be iconic. The film touches on Amy’s struggles, perhaps glossing over the absolute worst, humanizing her issues, all while giving the audience plenty of opportunity to listen and remember how good her music was. Marisa Abela as Amy gets an 11 out of 10 from me for her performance."

One user called the biopic a tribute while calling it out for a 'Oscar' worthy performance: "Back To Black is a fantastic movie. Most of the US critics have picked up on what the British critics are saying because they think they own Amy Winehouse. But Amy Winehouse belongs to all of us and this movie is a great tribute to her music. Amazing performances, Oscar worthy."

One user appreciated Marisa Abela's performance, noting: "I just saw the Amy Winehouse movie. It was so beautifully and truthfully presented. I quietly mouthed the words to her songs, and connected (again) to the honesty of her lyrics. Thank you Marisa Abela 4 giving us our Amy back…even if just 4 a moment Amy Winehouse, Back To Black" Meanwhile another user wrote about their urge of listing the music: "Just got back from watching the Amy Winehouse movie and had to immediately listen to an old clip of Yocci singing Back to Black while driving home."

A user pointed out the movie is date worthy as it made them laugh, cry, and reach for the tissues: "Just went on a movie date with my wife. Saw Back To Black. What a heartwrenching, beautiful, tragic movie. Joyful in so many moments, just to turn around and punch you in the gut. Definitely spinning some Amy tonight! Hug the ones you love, folks!"

Overall, the buzz surrounding 'Back to Black' is overwhelmingly positive. Fans are connecting with the film's portrayal of Amy Winehouse, and social media is abuzz with praise for its music, performances, and emotional depth.
