A documentary on the life of Amy Winehouse, the immensely talented yet doomed songstress. We see her from her teen years, where she already showed her singing abilities, to her finding success and then her downward spiral into alcoholism and drugs.
If Amy hit you the right way, here are Hollywood films that share its DNA. Same emotional weight, same kind of stories, same kind of payoff.
Both films sit with figuring out who you are, grief, and loss of innocence. The world both films live in revolves around corrupt institutions, family wounds passed down, and class and money. Same energy: haunting, melancholic, escalating, and slow burn.
