Why Did They Make an Amy Winehouse Biopic? Too often, biopics are made without warranting their own existence beyond being a quick cash grab, and most of these films end up doing a disservice to the real-life figures they mean to portray.
Amy succeeds in portraying its subject because it doesn't forget such beauty. After facing the star's untimely demise, the film ends powerfully with footage of her at her most lively. She’s there, full of life, an uncompromising personality that very much could not be replicated. About halfway through the film, footage of Winehouse walking around the city suddenly slows down. It lingers on her, eyes closed, basking in the sunlight.
