About this movie

From BAFTA award-winning director Asif Kapadia (SENNA), AMY tells the incredible story of six-time Grammy-winner Amy Winehouse - in her own words.

Featuring extensive unseen archive footage and previously unheard tracks, this strikingly modern, moving and vital film shines a light on the world we live in, in a way that very few can.

A once-in-a-generation talent, Amy Winehouse was a musician that captured the world's attention. A pure jazz artist in the most authentic sense - she wrote and sung from the heart using her musical gifts to analyse her own problems. The combination of her raw honesty and supreme talent resulted in some of the most unique and adored songs of the modern era.

Her huge success, however, resulted in relentless and invasive media attention which coupled with Amy’s troubled relationships and precarious lifestyle saw her life tragically begin to unravel.

Amy Winehouse died from alcohol poisoning in July 2011 at the age of 27.

Always quite liked her music... Her and her life, though, always just made me feel a bit ill. This film didn't make me feel any differently.

The documentary wasn't flash, but the content from the footage and the interviews with Amy's friends and family spoke volumes. It was well put together and very moving... I wasn't a fan of Winehouse's music but, now I appreciate it a little more

Never been a fan of her music. But couple weeks ago I watched a live performance from 2009 on sky arts. I was pulled in, I watched the whole lot. This documentary is very well put together and very intresting. Such a tragic loss of life. Such an amazing singer. Watch it now! !!
