Im not sure where this went wrong, it wasn't the writers as the story was already written, the actors did a great job and Marisa Abela was great as Amy including the singing.
The Cinematography was good for what was shown, and this i think was the problem. They didn't show enough, was it cut in editing or did they choose to leave out the real drama and never filmed it in the first place.
The film manages to barely scratch the surface of Amy's life with watered down vignettes sandwiched between musial performances, all of which are easily found on you tube.
There are good things in the film the relationship with her Grandma and Father were good however the relationship with Blake was barely scratched upon ( except the scratches on his face ). There is one moment showing her waking after heavy drinking, no drugs at all except talking about them, fleeting mentions of bulimia and weight loss.... It was all too bland.
Then to finish the whole thing we have a fade to black and a short eulogy.
Shame really as this could gave been a great biographical film instead it was bang average. Amy wasn't bang average !!!
6/10.
