Amy

"Directed by Asif Kapadia ('Senna'), the documentary 'Amy' is a posthumous and highly personal portrait of Amy Winehouse, going beyond her meteoric rise, fame and, yes, her substance abuse problems that led to her tragic death in 2011, at 27. This movie, worthy of the BAFTA and Oscar for Best Documentary in 2016, compiles unseen archive footage of the British artist, before and after her commercial success, through which she manages to offer an honest and balanced view of the delicate balance between being an artist and a celebrity, without falling into sensationalism. A balanced tribute to women and their music, essential for her fans and for those who want to watch the construction of a powerful documentary all built on archive."
