Marisa Abela is good as Amy Winehouse and does a marvellous job of emulating her singing voice throughout. Lesly Manville is her beloved gran, Eddie Marsan her dad and Jack O'Connell her druggie boyfriend. Thankfully her final hours are left unspoken.
Unfortunately it is another of those up-then-down biopics, and it suffers perhaps too from being whitewashed.
Intriguing to hear the Shangri-Las 'Leader of the Pack' again, and the effect it (apparently) had on some of her ensuing music.
