Back to Black suffers from a fundamental misunderstanding of its subject: Amy Winehouse’s life is treated as inherently meaningful simply because it ended badly, as if chaos automatically produced depth. The film resembles its subject: chaotic, and leaning heavily on the well-worn myth of the 'tormented artist,' as if talent were a license for self-destruction.

The film’s anti-colonial ‘message’ lands with all the delicacy of a marble block dropped from a great height. Overlong, overstuffed, and bloated with self-importance, this ‘classic’ is a lumbering elephant of a film: trumpeting loudly, signifying little.
