Amy
Documentary · 2015
A documentary on the life of Amy Winehouse, the immensely talented yet doomed songstress. We see her from her teen years, where she already showed her singing abilities, to her finding success and then her downward spiral into alcoholism and drugs.
The sides of Amy

Amy is good for you if…
- you like hearing Amy Winehouse's lyrics on screen as she sings them.
- you want her life told only through home videos, voicemails and friends' voices.
- you like being moved by someone you watch slip away.
Amy is bad for you if…
- you can't take addiction, an eating disorder and an overdose on screen.
- you need some hope, and you know how this one ends.
