Back to Black left me speechless. Marisa Abela nailed that role. I kept forgetting that I wasn’t actually watching Amy Winehouse. She perfected Amy’s mannerisms and voice. It was an absolute delight watching her take control.
I’ve been a fan of Amy Winehouse from the very beginning, she had the most beautiful way of singing. It was like her soul took over on every song she sang. Marisa Abela was able to accomplish that in an elegant way that took the movie to a whole other level.

Her life is heartbreaking. Most of her problems were widely shown through the tabloids and papers, but I learned a few things in Back to Black that I hadn’t known. So if you’re an Amy Winehouse fan I highly recommend it.
Grade: A
About The Peetimes: I added 2 Peetimes, if hard drug use is upsetting to you, I’d recommend the 2nd Peetime.
There are no extra scenes during, or after, the end credits of Back to Black.
What people are saying
about the RunPee app.
This is a great app. I wish more people would support it
This app provides info about movies, reviews, ratings from people who have seen it before and after viewing. It has links to info about the movies. It let’s you know when there will be a lull in the action and how long it will last. If you want to know what happens during that time, you can check the brief synopsis (you have to click a link, so no accidental spoilers). It has a timer you can set (silent) to alert you to a break. It also tells you whether there is anything extra during or after the credits. It’s really a wonderful app. I’ve subscribed for a couple of years to support the developers, but I noticed some of the links to provide feedback didn’t seem to work today. They also made it free, with voluntary donations to see the pee-times. If you haven’t tried it, I encourage you to do so, and subscribe if you like it. I really hope the app is supported so it can continue to be maintained!
Developers note: RunPee doesn’t make much money but it supports itself nicely. Donations are appreciated, but not required. We’ll add as many movies to the database as we can until there are no more movie theaters.
