Making Of BACK TO BLACK (2024) - Behind The Scenes & Talk With Marisa Abela & Sam Taylor-Johnson

[@katiegadsby543]

I think she did an amazing job. The first time she started singing on screen I was crying in the cinema; because we know how Amy’s story ended and it’s so tragic.

[@CantFightTheNarwhals]

girl where is the amazing job? is it in the room with us? what a shitty movie, waste of time and money

[@Thingaboutthings]

@@CantFightTheNarwhalswhat is your ducking problem

[@leakypussy9813]

she did a good job and deserved the job over an already established musician.. idk what the people expected. I wouldve preferred if it went in to more depth on certain things.. what happened at parties etc what was really going on with her and Blake.. it was very surface.

[@kennyjohnson1428]

She nailed it 👌

[@cathybelk-cb3ei]

I can't believe how well she did. Acting and Singing

[@KM-wv2og]

OMG THIS WAS AMAAAAAAZING!!!!! This actress nailed it on EVERY level!!!! The whole production was PERFECT!!!

[@aprile8429]

This movie was magic ❤ soo many feeling watching it. At one point I wanted to start clapping at her vocals in the cinema. Beautifully done ❤

[@filosofie9758]

I’m in love with Marisa

[@TavaJuliet]

I saw this movie last week here in New York and I think it's a great movie it's very magical and very delicate..the actors did an amazing job ❤❤

[@emgoodluck416]

I think she did a great job - I just think they should have used Amy’s vocals - because of how unique they were - her voice is great it’s just not Amy’s. And if you’re gonna have a movie about Amy - you gotta have her voice ! - - also the 2015 doc had a lot more info - they made her dad put a lot nicer in this for sure

[@benjamin6492]

shes portraying amy ,if w ewanto listen to amys music w ewill put on a cd,this i amovie abouther life and its good one not so blaming people and insultnig her family like the other one didi i didnt like that one.....,amy would have been pissed anyone dissing her family and making money off insulting her family or blake for that matter,so let it rest ,this is a nice portrail of a great singer songwriter thats all no blamegame ,

[@HRHDMKYT]

I think that’s the difference between a documentary (which used real Amy Winehouse footage and music) and a biopic, which is what this film is.

[@anitadecor1544]

I just saw the movie and I loved it, it didn't drag as some movies do when depicting a famous person's life. It was a good interpretation of Amy's life. She will forever be missed ❤

[@Ccomma-k4k]

It’s hard to capture Amy winehouse essence, she’s a rare one.

[@whyyousostinky3057]

agreed, no one like her

[@sissylopez4468]

I feel like the who will Capture the essence of at least a little in some ways will be Lady Gaga, but Amy was very different compared to most celebrities.

[@CantFightTheNarwhals]

it's a shame this movie came out and absolutely shit on her entire life and legacy. i hope everyone involved realizes what a shit job they've done when it inevitably flops in the box office

14:40 When he talks about the probably villain, it being addiction (and the press), it doesn't fully ring true... in regards to addiction, I see that as secondary to the wound that caused to escape to addiction. All peace, but that's how I see it. It's so extraordinarily sad because she really had this beautiful kind heart and amazing soulful talent. I pray she found true peace in heaven.

[@TheMomseloc]

Going to see it Monday! I can't wait! Will have tissues handy.

if by brilliant you mean an insult to her legacy then yea super brilliant you should watch something else that actually puts respect to her name and legacy. tons of documentaries out there that don't spit on her name

[@bellawhitney3805]

A very good portrayal of Amy! Well done! X

[@petra-c6p]

This film feels like a cheap telenovela that revolves solely around one aspect of Amy's life - her love for Blake Fielder-Civil. However, I expect a musician biopic to tell me the development of the artist and their music. Amy Winehouse was funny, highly intelligent, brutally honest and, especially at an early age, a self-confident young woman who developed her own style and musical style. With Back to Black she achieved the fame she never wanted, and which was later responsible for her death, among other things. As a fan, you were horrified to see how her bulimia, the press, her drug and alcohol addiction and an environment that did not protect her but continued to exploit her (Mitch, her father, Raye Cosbert, her manager, Blake Fielder-Civil, her (Ex )-husband), drove her to her death. Amy Winehouse had a complicated personality that the film doesn't do justice to. Here Amy is shown as a self-absorbed and aggressive woman who doesn't evoke any sympathy from me. All of the characters are extremely one-dimensional; most of them don't even have any external resemblance to the living people. Except Mitch Winehouse, who in the film, unlike in real life, is always at her side. Marisa really tries to make the most of the role, but at no point did I buy Amy from her. Her vocal performance is also passable, it's a good thing Amy's music wasn't used, it would have been sacrilege. Important stages in Amy's life are simply left out (the recordings with Mark Ronson in New York of Back to Black - after all, the title of the film) or the Dap-Kings (her backing band in the USA). When she receives the Grammys, her acceptance speech simply omits her words: for my Blake, who is in jail. And so it goes on, it's twisted, times are changed, important events are misrepresented, e.g. it wasn't Blake who brought her to the girl groups, but Amy discovered her on her own, as did the iconic Beehive that came from her, and not, as in Portrayed in the film by her grandmother Cynthia. Blake's arrest took place in a different apartment, etc. Add to that the countless mistakes in the clothing and shoes, it all just seems cheap. The biggest outrage occurs at the end of the film: Amy had written Back to Black about Blake when he left her and she slipped into depression. Here it is presented as if the song had to do with her grandmother's death! The entire film shows how little respect or knowledge the producers have for Amy and her music. I can only recommend Asif Kapadia's film: Amy - The Girl behind the Name to everyone, which showed Amy as she was. There are also many good concerts of hers on KZbin such as the North Sea Jazz Festival (2004) or Dingle (2006).

[@tylermikaelson1572]

I like the movie, think she did freaking amazing. But I don't like how it actually didn't focus so much on the music side, it focused more on her substance abuse, and "her being utterly obsessed with her boyfriend"

[@Coolcatgrooves]

I was just on a plane and had to hold back the tears. The acting was great, but the singing, oh the signing so, good, several times I had to ask myself is this Amy singing or is Marisa?

Director ,...take notes from the SELENA movie. J lo DID NOT USE HER OWN VOICE .

[@AlyssaBoyett-lb1vc]

Yes, but, J Lo did use her own voice.

[@jorgeblanco6045]

7'5/10 los actores lo hacen muy bien. Hay que tener en cuenta que resumir la vida de una persona en 2 horas es muy complicado pero las actuaciones (sobretodo de ella) son muy buenas. Los gestos faciales de la actriz están muy logrados y se parecen mucho a los de Amy. Para mí, es una película notable para los fans de Amy Winehouse.

[@jendavis9185]

Damn it. I’m going to see the movie today, because I’m a huge fan. Please tell me they show her bulimia as the contributing factor to her death. Bc the brother, friends, and even the father once shared that was the culprit, because her body would’ve been strong enough to pull through the drugs and alcohol if it weren’t for her ED.

I really liked this movie. I never knew her before but got to like her music and her character. Sad that the demons, alcohol and Blake destroyed a great talent.

[@michelle0377]

Queste interviste sono ancora più sconclusionate ed assolutamente senza senso tanto quanto il film. La regista non ha colto nulla della complessità emotiva di Amy,dei demoni con cui combatteva da quando suo padre abbandonò la famiglia per un'altra,del suo autolesionismo, della sua bulimia che poi l' hanno portata all'uso di sostanze. Suo padre è uscito come un angelo,quando invece ha sfruttato la figlia da far paura,facendola salire sul palco ubriaca e facendole fare una figuraccia in mondo visione solo ed esclusivamente per soldi. Questo film è una barzelletta. Amy RIP 🖤

Why didn't AMY'S VOICE stay in movie , y lip sync, no one wants to hear another person's voice over Amy's. Not gonna watch movie although I'm a big fan. U messed this up , director

[@linamarie84]

It was awful in my opinion and in the movie they switched between that actress trying to sing and then lipsing of Amy in other shots. The actress acted like she didn't want the part and she was trying to be profound in talking about Amy's eyeliner and how she had to focus on the makeup and looking into why she wore the eyeliner the way that she did etc.. She also said that she never sang in public and that she didn't know she was going to sing but then they had the option to lipsing and the actress chose to use her own voice instead.. They also dropped the movie off in some random place and then only focused on the drugs. They should have left it alone at Amy. What really actually upsets me is that there are people who like the film and that is fine they have a right to but when someone doesn't like it they actually have the nerve to label Them hateful and ignorant it discussed me as if we don't have a right to dislike it as they have the right to like it. Like since when in the history of the world has a disagreement or dislike ever equated to hate it's just unbelievable.
