New Film Chronicles Amy Winehouse's Life and Relationships

The latest film to chronicle the life of singer Amy Winehouse - who died of alcohol poisoning in 2011 at 27 - opens in cinemas on Friday.

But Johnson has created a perfectly paced movie, that provides an insight into the standout events of her short, but drama-filled existence, while remaining sympathetic to her flawed and loveable character. The potential of a talented and precocious young woman struggling to find her place in the world is emphasised at first. We view her turbulent relationship with her emotionally stunted father Mitch, played by Eddie Marsan, who drives a taxi and seems at a loss as to how to handle his sassy daughter.

There is sizzling on-screen chemistry between Amy and Blake when they first meet in a bar in Soho. They can’t keep their hands off each other, even though he already has a girlfriend. Like a lyric from one of her songs, Amy falls head-over-heels for him. The pair were married between 2007 and 2009 in a romantic but rocky on-off relationship. It's after she and Blake have broken up again, and he’s imprisoned for beating up a barman, that she tries heavier drugs.
