Back to Black has been one of the most talked-about movies of the year, but if you still haven’t seen it, it’s now available to watch on Netflix in the UK and Ireland.
Directed by Sam Taylor-Johnson, the controversial Amy Winehouse biopic sees Industry star Marisa Abela play the iconic British singer-songwriter as she meets and falls in love with Blake Fielder-Civil.
Back to Black was released on digital platforms in May in the UK, but is now also available to watch on Netflix in the UK and Ireland after being added today (September 12).
If you’re not a Netflix subscriber, you can rent Back to Black for £4.99 or buy it for £5.99 from Prime Video in the UK.
In the US, Back to Black is available to stream on Peacock for all subscribers. You can also rent or buy the movie from Prime Video, among other digital retailers.
Ahead of its release in cinemas back in April, Back to Black was criticised for exploiting Amy Winehouse’s legacy, while set photo leaks led to a backlash against the movie for sensationalising her tragedy.
Jack O’Connell – who plays Blake – defended the movie as a “celebration” of Amy Winehouse’s life and music.
“Put it like this: if we were trying to portray her in any form of negative light, then that might be a valid point and I can understand one or two people pre-empting that,” he explained.

Speaking to Digital Spy, Abela added that she did “understand” the scrutiny though, partly because she was feeling it herself.
“It was like, ‘You know I feel like this too?’ No one thought as much as me that this has to be right. All I would say is that if anyone thinks, ‘God, this has to be good’, it was me,” she reflected.

Each line seemed carefully weighed, carrying the heavy pull of memory and the weight of years that could never return.
