The critical consensus

A vibrant, haunting documentary, and a poignant tribute to a free spirit.

****(*)Phil de Semlyen, Empire Online, 29/06/2015

Kapadia lays bare the tragedy of Winehouse’s story. It’s a tough, unfiltered watch but a thoughtful, thorough, feeling one.

****(*)Kevin Harley, Total Film, 29/06/2015

Asif Kapadia’s stunning docu-collage maps out the crushing inevitability of Amy Winehouse’s fate with depth and clarity – and is all the more moving for it.

*****Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian, 02/07/2015

What emerges is a portrait as intimate as the use of her first name in the title implies.

****(*)Alistair Harkness, The Scotsman, 04/07/2015

The picture is overlong and depressing but Amy’s extraordinary talent and that remarkable voice reverberates throughout.

****(*)Henry Fitzherbert, Sunday Express, 05/07/2015

Asif Kapadia’s controversial Amy Winehouse documentary eschews sensation and talking heads in favour of heartbreaking footage and difficult questions.
