Another Music Themed Biopic Awaits!
12 April 2024
Back To Black is a 2024 musical drama featuring Marisa Abela in her breakout role as the music legend herself.

As a person who doesn't know much about Amy but rather films, this is a decent watch... for the most part. Let's discuss what it got right: 1. The singing was on point and definitely added that layer of realism to a tee, 2. Blake was very well played and had me chuckling quite a bit but he also had this warmth combined the latter that made him alone worth price of admission and 3. The shots and angles are very vibrant and pack that bright punch Priscilla once had (check my review for it on rotten tomatoes, account: The Great John A).

Cons: 1. Acting wasn't exactly great but could of been worse from the director of fifty shades of grey, 2. Marisa doesn't look anything like Amy but take that aspect with a pinch of cranberry sauce and 3. The worse bit, THE START it is really unnecessary that a random scene is spoiled which I won't go into detail but you'll find out at the beginning.

Overall a good attempt at a biopic but can't live up to the expectations that fans, and for me Priscilla, But thanks to affective deliverence and new info for the non brainers, doesn't make it disappear Back To Black.
