REVIEW:
The life of Amy Winehouse is a tragic one despite the amount of success she managed to receive during her short time on Earth. In her 27 years, Winehouse managed to find success in self-written songs that were based on personal experiences of hers. These songs, including "Rehab" and "Back to Black," managed to strike a chord with audiences around the world, allowing her to win many accolades including the Album of the Year award at the 2007 Grammys. Behind all of her success was a lot of tragedy and sorrow, and Asif Kapadia's "Amy" shows that without sugar coating anything. This is a raw and heart-wrenching film that, despite being a bit slow at times, is a must see for anyone who loved Amy Winehouse's music, those who are fans of music and/or the culture of tabloids, and for anyone who may be second guessing life. "Amy" may be the most frightening movie I've seen all year and one of the most important films to see in 2015.

Hello viewers of this blog,
Due to recent comments of spam and profanity present from obnoxious kids who think they are the funniest people in the world, I would like to request that the comments posted here are in good taste, meaning that they have no Anti-Semitic remarks, profanity, sexual innuendo, or any insults to myself. You can criticize the review and give pointers on how to make them better, but how about we be adults about this. Ok? Thank you, and have a nice day.
