Back To Black review: This Amy Winehouse biopic shies away from the ugly stuff so thoroughly it looks like a perfume ad, writes PETER HOSKIN
It's the wisest choice in a film that makes a hundred bad ones, among them its decision to portray Fielder-Civil as saintly in the first place.
‘I get all I need from the Daily Mail,’ says the saintly Blake Fielder-Civil in Back To Black, Sam Taylor-Johnson’s new biopic of that most talented, most troubled of singers, Amy Winehouse. It’s the wisest choice in a film that makes a hundred bad ones, among them its decision to portray Fielder-Civil — Winehouse’s, let’s say, controversial ex- husband — as saintly in the first place. Much better to put on Back To Black, the album, or the song, and remember what really made Winehouse a star.
