Back to Black Review
‘Back to Black’ features a star-making lead turn but leaden execution. Sam Taylor-Johnson here brings the story of talented, ill-fated British singer/song-writer Amy Winehouse, with Marisa Abela starring as the musician.
In theaters on Friday, May 17th, ‘Back to Black’ aims to chronicle the rise of jazz-influenced singer Amy Winehouse, who became one of the most successful British artists of all time, but saw her life and career cut tragically short at 27 due to alcohol poisoning. Sam Taylor-Johnson, who also made ‘Nowhere Boy’ (which focused on the earlier life of John Lennon), tackles another well-known UK performer, but the result here is nowhere near as successful.
