The posters say "Back To Black" is about Amy Winehouse's music, her life and her legacy.
However, this is not the greatest biopic I've seen this decade because it focuses more on Amy's love life & marriage, alcohol and drug abuse, her family and occasionally we get an insight into her rocketing music career.
The film delves into the life and career of Winehouse, beginning with her early days in the early 2000s as a North London jazz musician performing in a small club and culminating in her rise to world-wide fame as a five time Grammy Award winning singer with songs like "Rehab" and "Back to Black".
Authentically some scenes were filmed at Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club, outside Winehouse's first flat in Camden Town, and at Primrose Hill.
Marisa Abela was born to play "Amy Winehouse".
She is the highlight of this Sam Taylor-Johnson directed movie.
Doing all the singing in this film herself, also training extensively to mimic Amy Winehouse's vocals.
Eddie Marsan is great as "Amy's" dad "Mitch".
You hardly see Juliet Cowan as the mother "Janis", whilst UK screen Lesley Manville is "Cynthia" her Nan whom "Amy" worshipped and inspired her love for vintage fashion, hair and music.
Jake O'Connell is bad boy "Blake" that she marries and divorces.
One of "Amy's" biggest musical influences Mark Ronson isn't even in this biopic.
Amy's" life is a tragedy, joining the infamous "27 Club" in 2011.
As a memory to her legacy it needed more of the hits, the scandals, her short life and tragic end.
