The way she says to her father in the crowd, "Dad... Tony Bennett" when he's presenting her the Grammy. When she finally meets with him and it's unglamorous and she says "I just don't want to be wasting your time", and he has to comfort her and calm her down, "I have…

Slow down, you're too important. she was. she really was.
Leah 🥀Jul 22, 2015The best found-footage horror movie of the year, which also just so happens to be a fiercely perceptive documentary about a great artist laid low by enablers and a host of mental problems. If you've ever thought it might be nice to be famous, even for a little while, AMY…
Matt SingerJun 30, 2020I thought it was a very interesting choice to skip showing interviews, and use nothing but archival footage over them. I wasn’t really sure what the reasoning for that was at first, until I realized this documentary is 100% dedicated to the story of Amy Winehouse. There…

Shally lovedAmyOh my dear amy, what a bright light you were before you entangled yourself with that dusty BUM. I mean girl his hairline was receding from all the drugs?!?! Water found its level because she seemed to have low self esteem and no self love. Overall a great doc, i learnt alot 8/10

10/10 A true tragedy. Self destruction, bad decisions, and cruel media killed an angel. She deserved so much better, this documentary is straight forward and blunt in a good way. It depicts how sad her story truly was and it’s a tough one to watch, May she rest in peace.
Bere likedAmySad how everything ended. Her parents could have done so much more to help. All the signs everything she said to her mom. It was there. She just wanted her father attention and when she ask about rehab him saying she didn’t need it. Sad just awful she needed help.
Bennie lovedAmyCaptivating and worthy attempt at bringing Amy Winehouse’s story to the screen. Heartbreaking in every way. I love how this documentary showed her true talent and how she deserved so much more. A million times better than that “Back to Black” biopic. 9

the whole documentary was eye opening, and created a post humorous story for amy winehouse- one that would ensure so many people understand her frustration, anguish, fear, and hopelessness, and yet her love and compassion for so many.
Kacy likedAmywow this made me cry, i wish there were people that could’ve helped her more like all the warning signs were there it’s just people around her kept feigning ignorance i almost crashed out at the way her father acted
nevan lovedAmyan amazing and uniquely crafted documentary that tells the life story of one of my favorite female artists and one of the most talented singers of the 21st century

The gut-wrenching Amy is, in the end, as much an indictment of our celebrity-obsessed (global) pop culture as it is of the perils of rampant success arriving unexpectedly fast, tires squealing and driving a hearse.

Amy is both biography and autopsy, an exhaustive chronicle of her rise to the top of the charts and a bare-knuckled indictment of the vulturish men who took advantage of the emotionally vulnerable singer.

A surprisingly seamless biographical documentary, one that, even though it's been constructed largely from found elements, feels gracefully whole.
