it's full of shit 

 

i felt like sam taylor-johnson was romantizicing and tumblring her life and legacy, turning that addiction into something beautiful, which i understand, there's good addiction films like Requiem for a Dream or Trainspotting, but this one felt like so weird and full-out wrong

 

the only positive thing was the Blake actor, he's hot as fuck

 

other than that, marisa's acting should def not be judged. i think she did well with the script she was given, and she's completely awesome and all that. but def, i don't think this is some corporate business that has to do with making a film out of her life, rather it was all 100% sam taylor-johnson who made the script, if i'm not mistaken, so yea, what the fuck sam

 

girl wants to romantizice drugs and tabacco and alcohol and all of that. it felt so wrong seeing the sex scenes; that's freaking private, there's no manners there, just completely selling out her life into some sam taylor-johnson fantasy

 

bruv if there's any amy manager looking at this: get the lost recordings. those are the ones that secure her legacy

 

don't judge the actors and actresses, the screenwriter had the last say

 

anyways, please go watch the movie if u wanna know what i know now, if u wanna see what i see. there were some good cinematic shots but other than that, the story really felt so wrong to see. i didn't really feel comfortable, at all. defending a songwriter's legacy is enabling those songs to be heard, or at least pass a law or smth that has to do with paps or defending performers from management to obligate them to perform when they know the artist is not alright. amy was incredible, still is as her music lives

 

anyways, if u like the movie ur probably a nonce

 

xx

edit: sam just directed the movie. i read somewhere she had the idea, but screenwriter appears to be matt greenhalgh

 

anyways, don't take it as hate. take it as love for an artist whose music really, deeply saved me

 

i just wish she could be remembered for her songwriting, for her ability to convey a unique style

 

blake was also a victim.

I could already tell by looking at the trailer that it was going to be one of those biopics that make everything dramatic. It's the same old rubbish. I can't wait to give my two cents after watching this movie.

It was shit. I haven't felt so confused after watching a movie since I saw Star Wars: The Last Jedi in theaters. Thank god I didn't pay to see this dumpster fire. I don't pirate much but when I do it's something I'd never pay a cent for. Honestly, the actors are to blame as well, paid to tell lies about the film, happy to exploit someone's life for money. 

Ps. Blake wishes he was that hot. Not even close.

I think I was put on this Earth to make people laugh. Would have loved to make Amy laugh at least once.  :(

I 100% believe the reviews that think this movie is actually good and represents Amy well are being paid. Forget about it being a biopic it's a shitty ass movie in general.

I mean, look at Billie Holidays biopic! its great! flawless!

Then take a look at Amy Winehouse's Biopic! It's horrible! its flawed!

I feel Mitch doesn't care about Amy's image anymore. just as we saw in this biopic, he literally didn't cover frank era as much and skipped to the part when Amy said "my daddy thinks I'm fine" (Back To Black Era), in which he became more of a figure in her life. I get the title of the movie is Back To Black, But, We should also go Back To Frank. One of Amy's most powerful, sunkissed eras. Had there been no frank, there'd be no Back To Black.

 

You know what would be cool? They make a trilogy Biopic series! Frank,Back To Black,Lioness. I don't want anymore Amy movies or ANYTHING from Sam Taylor-Weinerlicker. But, I digress

Many film critics are paid. I've seen bad movies that had great critic reviews. It's all bullshit.

I still have yet to see the Billie Holiday biopic, it looks good.
