’Back To Black’ fades in and out of something great

As her career begins to flourish, Amy Winehouse finds her love life and romance with Blake Fielder-Civil intertwining with her creativity. As their toxic dependency begins to shape her life, her father Mitch and her grandmother Cynthia become concerned as the pressure of celebrity and the intrusion of paparazzi grows...

If there's one thing 'Back To Black' absolutely gets right, in spite of many issues, it's how Amy Winehouse was able to channel her anguish and grief so effectively into her music - and how she had to live her songs, as well as sing them. Much discourse has already circulated about Marisa Abela's voice and performance based on clips and trailers, but in the full extent of 'Back To Black', it's difficult to find fault with what is ultimately a thankless role.

Frustratingly, 'Back To Black' refuses to condemn anyone in the story of Amy Winehouse and her untimely passing, other than the media and the paparazzi. Jack O'Connell portrays Blake Fielder-Civil as a roguish charmer and free spirit, as sympathetically as one possibly could. Equally, Eddie Marsan gives Mitch Winehouse the benefit of the doubt and plays him as a doting father, distantly worried but ultimately giving his daughter the discretion to make her own choices.
