Amy

documentary

A powerhouse film. I never followed her career, knew nothing of her music, had read about her public meltdowns but had no feelings or opinions about her. Until now. This story blew me away. The tragedy of what happened to this girl was heart-wrenching.

She was a small woman with a big voice who wrote from the heart. The filmmaker had her lyrics on screen while she sang; a wise decision. She got so caught up in vocal stylizing it was hard to figure out what she was saying. Her words were moving, honest. She wrote about what was happening to her. And what happened to her shouldn't happen to anyone.

The madness of the celebrity bandwagon would crush anybody, no matter how strong they were. But she was fragile and was crushed. Watta shame. I could almost hear the paparazzi saying...who's next? I hate this culture.
