I agree with your point of view on Back to Black: it's definitely a solid biopic, but it does feel a bit rushed at times, especially in how quickly it moves from Amy's early days to her rise to fame. I think they tried to find the balance between telling her story and entertaining.

Marisa Abela did an amazing job capturing the essence of Amy, and I totally agree with you that the concert scenes were powerful. It's hard to make a biopic about someone as iconic as Amy Winehouse without some fans feeling like it doesn't go deep enough, but I appreciate that it focused on her passion for music and the emotional depth of her performances.

I also liked that the film didn't play too much of a blame game, with no clear villain in the story, just people struggling with their own flaws. That made the film seem more real and less sensationalist. Overall, I also recommend it, especially if you're interested in his music, although it's not a perfect portrait of his life. It's worth seeing, if only to appreciate the depth of his talent.

I think what I liked most was that there is a lot of Jazz and they illustrate his passion for Jazz whenever possible.
