Amy

Hosted by Joe Morgenstern Jul. 03, 2015 Entertainment

Amy Winehouse was unlucky and unwise in life, but her story fell into the right hands after she died.

What's familiar in Asif Kapadia's Amy is only the framework for an enthralling study of why Amy Winehouse didn't, or couldn't, reconcile her blazing talent with her deepest yearnings.
