Mark Cunliffe 🇵🇸’s review published on Letterboxd:
There are two really great and utterly important things about Asif Kapadia's film; one, is that it allows us to be reintroduced to that dazzling young girl with a unique talent from the Frank era - I'd almost forgotten that Amy, the Amy I fell so hard for. And two, that it points the finger where the blame truly lies. Yes it acknowledges the horrendous, cavalier damage the likes of the media and Blake did to her, but it finally lays the blame at the door of her manager Raye Cosbert and her father Mitch who got away with this for far too long.
Cunts.
It's a hard watch. It was bad enough to witness her deterioration across the years, but to condense it all into two hours is especially affecting. A great film, but a film you wish didn't have to be made, because it is all about what was lost.
RIP.
