      What to Know

      Critics Consensus

      Back to Black's sympathetic approach to its subject's story is an overdue antidote to the tabloid treatment she often received in life, even if the end results are disappointingly pedestrian.

      Mark Kermode Kermode and Mayo's Take (YouTube) Its punchlines lack punch, [but] what it does have is a frankly dynamite central turn from Marisa Abela. Apr 24, 2024 Full Review Tom Shone Times (UK) The film seems too tame, too tasteful, too frightened of alienating the fans: everything that Winehouse was not. Rated: 2/5 Apr 22, 2024 Full Review Rebecca Harrison Sight & Sound Like Winehouse herself, the film teeters on the edge, hovering restlessly between genre-subversive brilliance that complicates celebratory narratives about artistic genius, and well-worn, re-hashed tropes about tragic women. Apr 21, 2024 Full Review Steph Cozza Cinema Vixens "Back to Black" reads like a cheap tabloid piece, reducing Amy Winehouse's life to sensationalized headlines and exploiting her struggles for a cash grab. Rated: 1/5 Apr 26, 2024 Full Review Sherin Nicole RIOTUS Back to Black left me disappointed, like a fading memory of seeing Amy Winehouse from a distance and never knowing if it was real. We don’t get close to her. Like a BuzzFeed Quiz turned biopic when the results aren’t what you hoped for. Apr 24, 2024 Full Review Alistair Ryder The Film Stage It ghoulishly holds the singer accountable for many of the tragedies and misfortunes she suffered. Rated: C- Apr 23, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
