Amy

amyWith a few exceptions I didn’t pay much attention to Amy Winehouse’s music; I worked with someone who did a great job of the first few lines of Rehab, and I have the Duets CD where she sang with Tony Bennett. It was hard not to follow the troubles she had at the end of her life. This documentary uses film footage taken of Amy from a very early age until just before her death.

There is no doubt she lived a troubled life; her early years weren’t happy ones and she says several times that she wouldn’t be able to handle fame. Someone (her parents, her managers) should have been watching out for her rather than trying to cash in on her fortune. I didn’t see her father’s name in the credits and I sincerely hope he didn’t make a dime off this movie.
