An ‘incredibly moving’ documentary about Amy Winehouse is available to stream now just as her ex-husband sheds light on their tumultuous relationship.

Blake addresses Amy’s public battle with addiction as well as misconceptions about their relationship dynamic. He also touches on the 2015 documentary titled AMY, which he praised for being a “fair” portrayal of what was going on in Amy’s life.

Directed by Oscar winner Asif Kapadia, the film uses archival footage and personal accounts to paint “an intimate portrait of the life and career of British singer/songwriter Amy Winehouse”.

Fans can watch the documentary on NOW or purchase it on Apple TV and Prime Video.

It was an instant hit with critics and went on to win the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature. Rotten Tomatoes reviewers also praised the biopic, giving it a rare 96% score.

Their verdict reads: “As riveting as it is sad, Amy is a powerfully honest look at the twisted relationship between art and celebrity — and the lethal spiral of addiction.”

Moviegoers were equally impressed by the touching deep dive into Amy’s life. “The Best Documentary of one of my and I think the world’s [favourite] artists. Absolutely Devastating,” reviewed one.

Another viewer added: “It’s very rarely that I will give a documentary five stars but this is a stunning picture. It’s savagely tragic and heart rending. What a talent and character Amy Winehouse was and her descent is pictured perfectly.”

While a third wrote: “Incredibly moving documentary of Amy’s life. Speechless.”

“I know OF Amy W before I saw this but this gave me a look at another side of her,” added another fan. “She was obviously very gifted as an artist but plagued by ALOT of demons. Great documentary . I would recommend it to anyone.”
