Just saw this and it was excellent, as I've come to expect from Asif Kapadia (Senna). Like Senna, the film is composed entirely from footage and its amazing how much footage there is from before she ever recorded.
I have to admit to not paying much attention to Amy Winehouse when she was popular because the media bombarded us with nothing but her troubles. Sad. Man, she could sing.
I had no idea I would like her music this much ...and she seemed like regular people, until she got too famous, couldn't handle it and turned to drugs and alcohol.
Manhola Dargis of the New York Times does a far better job reviewing "Amy" than I ever could and it was this review (link below) that got me to see it.
If you are the least bit curious, I highly recommend you see "Amy".

of the rise and ultimate fall of Amy. Truthfully, I never heard one of her songs until she died. She had such an incredible rich and mature voice it is hard to believe she was as young as she was.
The amount of footage available was astounding especially of the waning days leading to her demise.
She is the story of so many young artists who can't handle fame, exposure, and the loss of a normal life. Her dad didn't help either.
This is worth seeing even if, like me, you knew nothing of her. It is compelling to see her "birth", "life", and "death".
The epic title song has to be one of my favorite songs, ever. I much prefer that album to Frank, even with its inclusion of Rehab. The posthumous release, Treasures, is worth checking out as well if you've become a fan

Just as moving.
