Agreed. Despite how people feel about the movie, I found the acting to be incredible. Marisa’s portrayal as Amy was amazing. The mannerisms and accent was so on point!

Saw the film yesterday. Marisa was STUNNING as Amy, I found myself forgetting it wasn't actually her. I think we are gonna see great things from this young woman.

Amy really had some magic and it feels right for Marisa to phrase it, “capture Amy’s magic.”

How amazing of Marisa Abela to still stick to being in this role even though she didn't know she would be singing Amy Winehouse's songs in the film. Great interview Stephen.

She is so beautiful and I felt Amy’s pain and glee in the movie. Thank you for bring her back to life for a bit~

Moving story. Amazing acting and Marissa deserves an Oscar! ❤

Great interview, Stephen.

Taking on an icon and cautionary tale like this is really quite something.

she did a good job i dont know how her real life was behind the scene but from what i seen of her life on the camera and her voice was craaazy she sounded kinda just like her she was a blast in the movie big ups!!!

Great Interview

Movie was great and she was spellbinding. I didn't know her story so i can't comment on that side of it but it was very enjoyable

I’m watching this movie right now. She is amazing!! I didn’t know she was singing the songs too! She definitely needs an award for this movie.

Marisa was great in Amy's film... I cried a bit at the opening few scenes seeing Amy so happy in her parents house and I know there was criticism for glancing over a few issues of Amy's life but I'm glad I didn't have to cry again in that movie I never liked those tough times... Undeniable but I like to remember her happy... So unsure sitting down to that film but I guess thanks to all involved I think they went about it the right way... I think Marissa said Amy's death was a trauma? For the country and god knows there's no need for another one at this point.... For me at least ha thanks Marisa 🥰

Absolutely amazing performance. Felt like Amy!!!

Great actress!!!!!!

What a beautiful actress and I'm glad to know her from the movie. Does anyone else feel that she looks like Rachel Weisz from some angles

❤ cuteeeeeee boy

I never expected her to do the role with justice, but she was uncanny

can't wait, I really liked Amy Winehouse, she brought a new kind of music in this boomer's life and that was unusual for me. I was disheartened when i found out the news, a loss for all of us

WoW! ❤

Oh she is so much prettier than the original.

Tough, tough shoes to fill😮

I watched the film and I was impressed. People are really being hard on her and the film. She is really good.

The movie was GREAT!!! 👏👏👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🎙️🎙️🎙️🎙️🎙️

Amooooooooo

There’s a part in the movie when she’s in a hotel with Blake and he presents a ring box. I was expecting a beautiful ring or earrings. It was two crack rocks all lit up. I can’t stop thinking about it. Hysterical.

Her impression of an American accent is spot on!

I agree completely. Also in another interview she doesn't even know what she's talking about and rambles on about how she had to really hone in to y Amy Winehouse or eyeliner and things like that because maybe she was hiding behind a mask and was just trying to make something profound other nothing. She talks about not singing in public but then auditioning for a role where she's playing a singer but then says that she didn't know she was going to sing and then goes on to say how they could have used Amy but then she wanted to sing.. People are very strange sometimes.

She was in another interview. She was in Guildhall school for music and acting. That's public singing. She certainly wasn't just singing a few karaoke songs. It was more than that. It's amazing! She took that persona ! Great singing & acting

Most of the reviews I read for this film commended Marisa Abela for her performance as Amy Winehouse but criticized the film overall because it focused far too much on her toxic marriage to her husband and not nearly enough on her artistic talent. Also, there was an issue with how her father was portrayed in the film as caring and loving when in reality he used her fame and notoriety to benefit himself.

She is pretty

The Princess is in her sabbatical, we need to get her out❤️❤️❤️🎤 #SaveCindy❤️

So, she did get up and sing. Guildhall school wouldn't give weekly lessens to someone who was tone deaf. Was she in the Barbie movie... they did ask people to try out. So she sang just needed to learn Amy and her style. She looks and sounds much like her already! She did public singing, I saw her say it on another interview

I dont get why fans are so rude with this actreess obviously theres no one like amy but marisa did a great work some mannerism are similar and the voice is quite good... The movie isnt that bad... We all know amy had mental health issues that weren't adress it on time she need it therapy and good support... Rest in peace forever and ppl should just stop judging everything about famous ppl

Imagine how many actual singers would have killed for a chance to sing with Amy’s band.

she looked like her at times smh not in the begining... i wish amy was alive theres no one like her

👀😍🖤💎

Hello darling 😍 Hi Marisa too 😏

She actually did a really great job singing Amy's tunes. The film on the other hand is whitewashing everybody, the documentary from 2015 does a better job portraing Amy's life. I'll reccommend to watch both if you like Amy.

I don't know, it's just me ,but I always feel english actors actresses speaking more intelligent.😉

Biopics are notoriously difficult - it's a fiction based upon fact but inevitably causes issues. I think Marisa is great as Amy but the film isn't a good enough telling of the truth.

Remember Steve actresses born after 2009 are actually actors. :)

After watching the movie on a late night (5/15/2024), I appreciated the songs, but not the artist personalitywise from the beginning. I had mixed reactions with the paparazzi tailing her like roaches.

No disrespect to Marisa Abela and her acting abilities. But If only the movie Back to Black would have focused on Amy’s upbringing and wonderful lyric writing abilities and amazing vocals. They basically ruined Amy Winehouse character and talent by basing this movie on the blame game and alcoholism. As if we didn’t already know that. Can you imagine if the movie “Selena” would have been based only on her killer Fan Club Manager Yolanda Saldívar and Selena’s Father? It wouldn’t have done Selena’s character, persona and talent any justice. It’s an awful shame they couldn’t give Amy Winehouse peace and rest by at least making this Back to Black movie about her childhood and music making talent.

All my songs are 80+ tracks per songs Acoustic and live versions excluded So u mix all 80 tracks And u chill for a few weeks then master it so it takes awhile

I am already Sonyed.

I ain't sayin' no no no to this.

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 KZread such as the North Sea Jazz Festival (2004) or Dingle (2006).

Wow. I was wondering when the Mark Ronson part was coming. They left that out. Marisa didn't manage to capture Amy's essence initially but did so in the middle of the film when she got the beehive hair style. Her accent was questionable at times but she did a decent job playing Amy Winehouse 👏
