Amy Winehouse Biopic Omits Key Struggles
A recent film about Amy Winehouse, 'Back to Black,' has been criticized for downplaying significant aspects of her life, including bulimia and drug addiction. While these issues were central to her life, the biopic reportedly relegated them to minor themes. This approach mirrors other biographical films that have omitted sensitive details.

“Das war ja so, wenn man sich an den Amy Winehouse Film Back & Black erinnert, wo ja irgendwie Bulimie und Drogensucht wirklich quasi nur Randthemen waren, relativ zentral für ihr Leben. Die Musik, ja, die Reis damals wie heute, fiele mit. Und danach, auch wenn man nicht nur die Missbrauchsvorwürfe gegen Chexen nimmt, sondern auch die Medikamentensucht und alles, hätte das nicht in so ein Biopic reingehört? Naja, auch andere Biografien, die ins Kino kamen, haben so einiges verschwiegen, sagt unser Filmexperte, Enno Reins.”
