Amy (La chica detrás del nombre)

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

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.

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.

Gennem [et] kreativ(t) clash mellem scener fra det offentlige sammenbrud og intime indblik i det private kaos får vi en mere komplet forståelse for den undergang, som næsten virkede orkestreret af en ondskabsfuld skaber.

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

...eschews sensation and talking heads in favour of heartbreaking footage and difficult questions.
