Back to Black Review | Superficial Amy Winehouse Biopic with a Great Cast
Amy Winehouse took the music world by storm with soulful vocals and an electric persona unlike any female artist of her generation. Her piercings, tattoos, sultry eyeliner, and trademark beehive hairstyle complemented a booze, sex, and drug-fueled lifestyle that made her constant tabloid fodder. Back to Black, a biopic directed by Sam Taylor-Johnson and named after Winehouse’s iconic Grammy-winning album, captures her meteoric rise to fame and equally tragic death at a shocking 27-years-old.
