The movie portrays the complexities of Amy's relationships and struggles. Despite the film's sympathetic tone toward Amy and her protective father Mitch, played by Eddie Marsan, it faces some criticism for being too simplistic. Comparisons have also been made to the documentary "Amy" by Asif Kapadia which critics have praised for being a better and accurate portrayal of Winehouse.
The movie captures the tender moments of Amy's life, contrasting her youthful vulnerability with her tough public image and mature voice. It explores the role of romance in her life and the resulting narrative of unhappiness that fueled her creativity.
Some Hollywood critics have criticized Back to Black for focusing less on Amy's musicianship and professionalism and more on tabloid stereotypes.
However, fans on social media are loving Marisa Abela's portrayal of the late singer.
