    Is 'back to black' a good movie?

    • At its best, “Back to Black,” the forthright and compelling movie that’s been made of Winehouse’s life, takes that light/dark balance and digs into the drama of it. The film’s snaky on-and-off fascination starts with the British actor Marisa Abela, whose lead performance nails Amy Winehouse in every look, mood, and note.

    What does 'back to black' mean in 'rehab'?

    • “Back to Black” depicts him as a kindly if occasionally misguided man who only cared for his daughter’s well-being. The most damning line about him in Winehouse’s lyrics pops up in her most famous song, “Rehab,” in which she gives “my daddy thinks I’m fine” as a reason to stay out of rehab — a line based entirely in reality.
