Sadly, this film just strengthens my opinion of Winehouse, that being, she was one messed up lassie well before the drugs and alcohol got a real grip of her.
The actress portraying her does a good job in all fairness and the supporting cast all do their jobs admirably. Unfortunately, it seems Winehouse simply wasn't a nice person, and as mentioned before, was already well and truly messed up long before fame hit and the drugs and drink got a hold.
She had a decent voice, and recorded a few good songs, but i always felt she was a fad. Were she alive today, she'd have been akin to a cabaret act, occasionally touring clubs and pubs repeating the same 5 or 6 songs night after night.
It's tragic that she died so young, and may she rest in peace, but this film is a pointless exercise, a biopic of a flash in the pan.
