At the age of 19, Amy Winehouse signed a publishing deal with EMI. At 23, she’d release the 2006 album Back to Black and be considered one of the greatest vocalists in the history of popular music. At 27, Winehouse would be found dead from alcohol poisoning.

Asif Kapadia’s portrait of the black-bouffanted British powerhouse doesn’t spare us the tragedy of her life, or the mercurial relationships in her life that contributed to her becoming a tabloid fixture and a casualty. But the movie also doesn’t skimp on Winehouse’s music, and you understand how the soul into those songs turned them into something immortal and timeless. — Rolling Stone
