Amy - The Girl Behind the Name

With more than 100 subjects interviewed..., ranging from invaluable childhood chums... to professional collaborators..., “Amy” could not feel more personal unless the director had included X-rays of Winehouse in the mix.

...almost more noteworthy for what it doesn’t do as a documentary than for the sad story of its famous subject.

The film also responds to Winehouse’s face: that sensual and jolie-laide presence, always so mobile and yet possessed of a strange kind of anti-Mona-Lisa enigma.

A vibrant, haunting documentary, and a poignant tribute to a free spirit.

Överväldigande och nära.

...et stærkt portræt af en sjæl velsignet og forbandet med en fandens god stemme.
