Winner of the 2016 Academy Award for Best Documentary, AMY is a powerfully honest look at the twisted relationship between art and celebrity -- and the lethal spiral of addiction. Despite just two albums to her name, Amy Winehouse is one of the biggest music icons in British history. With a voice oft described as a combination of Billy Holiday, Dinah Washington and Sarah Vaughan, Winehouse was a pop star with soul; a once in two generational musical talent whose appeal crossed cultural and demographic boundaries. But while her music made her a star, her chaotic personal life stole headlines. A deeply moving and powerful piece of cinema.
