JUST WATCHED THE AMY WINEHOUSE MOVIE

I am going to start by saying that I do NOT think that this movie is made for Amy Winehouse's fans, but rather for people who barely know anything about her life and artistry — and still, the movie falls short in doing Amy even a bit of justice.

Let's start with some of my grievances:

They portray Amy as a very annoying and unlikable person. I think most people are going to leave the theater thinking of how annoying Amy Winehouse was: they portray her as being immature, a homewrecker, not very smart, toxic, disrespectful, and violent. Was Amy like that? Maybe she did have some of those traits (perhaps at the beginning of her career?) but the movie fails miserably in really counterweighting those negative traits with any good ones, making Amy appear so unlikable to the viewer.

The singing is NOT good. Marisa Abela sounds whiny. Some of the songs sound pretty bad, especially "Stronger Than Me," it sounds terrible! The only song that I think sounded pretty decent was Valerie.

Its timeline is very confusing. There are many BIG jumps here. For example, there is only ONE scene between Amy's performance at the Grammys (2008) and hear death (2011). There are three years unaccounted for in Amy's life. They didn't even bother to include Amy's collaboration with Tony Bennett, which was one of Amy's highlights of her career. This is only one example of many confusing jumps throughout the movie. It is very surface level!

Some of the wardrobe is way off. In this movie Amy was wearing Back to Black era clothing during the Frank era. They did a good job of recreating some of her actual dresses, skirts, etc., but implemented them wrong in the movie's timeline. For example, Amy wearing her iconic 2011 Fred Perry argyle long sweater... in 2004?!?! Like, c'mon

There is a nude scene... why?! There is absolutely no reason to have a nude scene in an Amy Winehouse movie. Period.

Now onto the salvageable things about this movie:

I personally think the Glastonbury scene was the best part of this movie. The recreation was quite good and the whole scene added a lot to the movie in terms of showing Amy's feelings towards Blake.

I have very mixed feelings about the last scene because on one hand the end was super rushed. In fact, the entire movie felt rushed but the end, in particular, felt rushed. However, the last scene (hint: Ava flies in paradise) made me quite emotional. I was almost tearing up. I thought it was a beautiful way to the end the movie.

Overall thoughts:

I think this movie shouldn't have been made not because I am opposed to an Amy Winehouse biopic, but because this movie does a disservice to her life and legacy. It is a badly acted and at times it looks cheap. Amy deserved a better dramatization of her life. I hope we'll see that one day in the hands of a good director.

My rating? 3/10

oi gente, tudo bem? bom, não sei quando começou isso, mas o tumblr nos últimos meses não aparece as publicações no search quando procuramos e com esse problema (ou bug) muitas contas estão flopando, contas grandes até, e isso desanima MUITO! o tumblr não resolve o problema e só prejudica a gente que cria conteúdo de edição porque acaba que nao temos nenhum retorno sobre os posts. eu não sei como resolver isso, tô muito desanimada com minhas contas, por isso vim pedir duas coisas:

1. se vocês gostam do meu conteúdo ou de qualquer outra conta de edits, por favor ative nossas notificações pra ajudar vocês a saberem dos posts e se puder deixe uma notinha quando gostar, isso ajuda muito na motivação, acreditem!

2. não levem isso como obrigação, vai de cada um, mas não ignorem pedidos de divulgação por favor!!! o tumblr não constuma mostrar posts de contas novas no search, só quando ele entende que você tá tendo notas e novos seguidores e com esse problema agora fica muito difícil pra quem tá começando ou voltando pra cá. então, se puder divulguem outras e se assim a gente se ajuda🤍
