Before her tragic early death, Amy Winehouse delivered an album that branded her instantly with icon status. This new biopic from Sam Taylor-Johnson (Nowhere Boy, 50 Shades of Grey) tells the story of its making and fallout. Winehouse’s lyrics were always devastatingly frank, and the film unveils the full story of the turbulent relationships behind them.

Starring relative newcomer Marisa Abela in the lead role – whose role in TV’s Industry saw her as one to watch – this is finally the film to fully embody Winehouse’s own perspective. More than a story of spiralling downfall, Taylor-Johnson gives the full picture of this complex, era-defining figure.
