Amy Winehouse’s mother speaks out on biopics of her life: ‘There was so much more’
It’s been a decade since Amy Winehouse’s untimely death, after the incredibly talented performer passed away from alcohol poisoning at the age of 27. In the years that followed, there were many adaptations of her life on-screen but now her mother Janis Winehouse-Collins, is challenging the cautionary tale about her daughter.
In 2015, Asif Kapadia directed an award-winning documentary about the life and death of British singer-songwriter, which used previously unseen archive footage and personal testimonies of dazzled fans and people who worked with her.
The film Amy, won a total of 30 awards – including an Oscar for Best Documentary – but the singer’s father Mitchell complained that it was unbalanced and “tainted” at the time.
Now Janis too, has criticised the ground-breaking motion picture.
In a new interview, she spoke out about her feelings towards the film.
