When: Back to Black is in theaters May 17.
What to know: The drama looks at Winehouse's early rise to fame, all the way through the making of her Grammy-winning album Back to Black.
Director Sam Taylor-Johnson told Yahoo Entertainment that she felt “a huge responsibility” in staying true to the singer’s story on film.
"Whatever our judgments are of situations she was in or people that she loved, it was irrelevant to the story I was telling because we were sort of in her creative soul as she created one of the best albums of our time," she explained.
Why I'll be watching: Actress Marisa Abela's transformation into Winehouse looks remarkable and she does her own singing in the movie.
