This Potentially Accursed Amy Winehouse Movie Is Finally Premiering

In full equity, I do know nothing of this film past the trailers and clips which have been launched. However the Web definitely hated this clip, and so they’re not flawed:

I do assume the aforementioned Web is being awfully exhausting on whether or not she LOOKS sufficient like Amy — in full regalia, she passes fairly effectively, but in addition, she’s an actor and isn’t ACTUAL Amy Winehouse and subsequently she’s not going to be a doppelganger. And that’s okay, so long as the efficiency is nice. The jury might be out on that till we get the entire thing, however I’ll be aware that within the above clip, the vocals created a stir and… I get that. It sounds like they initially deliberate to have Marisa Abela practice simply in order that her facial motions would match the dubbed vocals — even faux singing must be convincing — however then she studied sufficient throughout the 4 months that “her voice reworked” and Sam Taylor-Johnson determined to have her do all of it. This was… probably a mistake, as a result of Amy’s voice was SO singular and an inextricable a part of her. Maybe in THIS clip it’s deliberately tough as a result of she’s a youthful, extra uncooked Amy? However that’s not instantly clear — it’s arguably unfair to Abela to launch that one, truthfully — and I additionally don’t know whether or not Abela is the one singing within the official trailer, which does sound MORE like the true Amy:

Regardless, the uproar might have sucked a few of the enjoyable out of this entire expertise for poor Abela, who simply obtained employed to do a job and by all accounts labored her butt off to attempt to fulfill the transient. She seems attractive in her Fendi robe, so this half, she positively aced. Jack O’Connell, who performs her husband Blake Fielder-Civil, is doing the Josh O’Connor Comb-Ahead hairdo proper now. Perhaps it’s an O’Factor. However I actually assume they need to each take one another out for a beer and persuade one another to cease. Or, in Winehouse parlance: to say no, no, no.
