I just screened this movie last night and was blown away. This is a great documentary for those who like Amy Winehouse's jazzy voice. It shows the highs for her and her collapse into the drug world and losing her life.
This is a SD UV copy, Below are a few of the Metacritic scores courtesy of Metacritic.com.

As a whole, Amy is an emotionally stirring and technically polished tribute, its sprawling mass of diverse source material elegantly cleaned up, color-corrected and shaped into a satisfying
