Amy Winehouse's voice made her a Grammy winner before she turned thirty; her death at twenty-seven made her a cautionary tale. This Channel 5 film, directed by Jacques Peretti, tracks her from North London upbringing through the rise and collapse, built almost entirely on interviews with people who watched it happen up close. Her ex-husband Blake Fielder-Civil talks on camera about the drug binges that defined their marriage, and a former teacher and her one-time mother-in-law add earlier, quieter context to a life that later played out in tabloid photographs. Reporters and photographers who covered her describe the media pressure from the outside; a psychologist weighs in on the addiction and mental health struggles from the clinical side. The film does not shy from the wreckage, the stormy relationships, the substance abuse, the erratic performances, but it keeps returning to the talent underneath, the recordings that made her famous in the first place. What emerges is less a mystery than a slow-motion account of warning signs that were visible the whole time.
