AMY

Resolution of the DVD was very bad and even the sound. Movie has no story. Not worth even 1star. Did not watch the movie past 15 minutes, as it was boring.

Amazing life story of a world famous singer.

brilliant artist, sad story, such is life...

DVD is not working either on DVD player or PC.

brilliant piece of work from the director !

The movie was nice

Amy gives us an insight to the uncontrollable downfall of fame. A biographical documentary depicting both the early personal life and musical career of Amy Winehouse, who unfortunately overdosed on drugs in 2011. Biopics are difficult to review, you have to refrain from judging the person that is being portrayed and just review the documentary itself. However, before I start I would like to say that Amy Winehouse was incredibly talented. It really was a shame what she went through in terms of her own personal demons. She was clearly infectiously likeable and down to earth, devoted to her one passion. This documentary creatively captures her fragility through the use of old recordings, montages of pictures with onscreen lyrics to accompany them and countless awards ceremonies for all the recognition she rightfully deserved. This is a statement. To explore and convey the desirable disease of fame. Fame. It can corrupt the most innocent of souls. The influx of money, power and popularity can enhance the accessibility of drugs and alcohol. In Amy's case, it destroyed her. Not solely, the film takes the time to go through her stages of early depression before she took the world by storm. It's utterly moving and powerful. A young woman susceptible to external influences. She didn't know what she was doing, it was out of her control. The way the media covered her story rather enraged me, with several chat shows and news reports mocking her. It's important to acknowledge that the media only saw one side to her, but it's a shame they reduced her to a mess. As empathetic as this is, we also celebrate her work by listening and watching her perform. Director Asif Kapadia dynamically balanced her lows and highs to portray an enigmatic young woman who was taken from us far too early. The runtime could've been slightly shorter to maintain a tighter biopic, but it's a fitting tribute and I highly recommend you watch this. Like me, you don't need to be a fan of her to appreciate the complexity and intellectual narrative of this documentary.

I bought this about a week before the OSCARS and said to myself 'this will win the OSCAR for best documentary' and it did!This is a compelling - and heartbreaking - film about a wonderful talent, and someone I would call a vulnerable lost soul who appeared to be too trusting and was unashamedly exploited by people who perhaps should have done more to protect her. It provides an insight in to her true friendships and relationships, and uncompromisingly illustrates how parasitic some people can be. There are lovely moments in this film where Amy is timid but shows her true talent, such as when she's recording with her idol, Tony Bennett; and there are raw moments that should never have happened to such a young, vulnerable, talented woman. Not an easy film to watch, but such a good one, and the documentary film makers need to be applauded for their courage in bringing this most successful film to the screen. The DVD extras are superb, and I would recommend this film to all true film fans, and old and soon to be new fans of Amy.

Anybody who buys this will at least know this does not have a happy ending. I would say it looks and feels more like a TV documentary than a movie and I would tend to recommend watching something available on Iplayer or equivalent. For a true fan though, they would have to have this. I would like her session with Tony Bennet to be much longer and the bits with her Dad to be much shorter.

Talented. So talented. Utterly heartbreaking. More a thought piece. Would be great if we still had Amy’s talent. Many, many people should have done a lot more to protect her. A lot of intrusive media types & other ‘friends’ didn’t help. Maybe, it was written in the stars. Her talent / heart was perhaps too fragile for such a ruthless and heartless game... perhaps she would have been happy just playing the pubs and bars of Camden. You are very much still missed Amy... wish there could have been more. Yet glad you graced us with your iconic songs, words and styles at all. Shine on.

Great service & product delivered in timeframe. One of the films of the year highlighting in her own words & music the life of a troubled and tormented genius. I saw Amy perform in Birmingham in 2009 when her career was starting to unravel & this film highlights the true genius of her talent running parallel with her vulnerability. The film does not reflect well on her father but sadly tells the true story of her rise and inevitable fall ending in her tragic death at the age of 27, often said to be the golden age of rock n roll but here represents such a tragic waste of life & talent. A must for any real Amy fan.
