It\u2019s hard not to feel jaded by yet another musical biopic.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cRay.\u201d \u201cRocketman.\u201d \u201cBohemian Rhapsody.\u201d \u201cBob Marley: One Love.\u201d \u201cJudy.\u201d \u201cRespect.\u201d That\u2019s a partial list, of course. What we really need is “Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping 2.”<\/p>\n

Along comes \u201cBack to Black,\u201d the tragic tale of Amy Winehouse\u2019s rise and fall, and we greet it with arms tightly folded. Will she hear her song played on the radio for the first time? What about fights with management over her career\u2019s trajectory?<\/p>\n

\u201cBack to Black\u201d takes a different, more humane approach. The camera focuses on the doomed chanteuse, her colorful attitude and dark love life.<\/p>\n

Yes, there\u2019s music aplenty, and star Marisa Abela embodies the late singer as well as anyone likely could. The story rightly stays on the soul we lost too soon.<\/p>\n

\"YouTube<\/a><\/p>\n

Abela\u2019s Amy is a sweet young woman with a voice that belies her lithe frame. It\u2019s a throwback to jazz singers of yore, throaty and echoing scabbed-over wounds. It\u2019s her ticket to fame, but she\u2019s less interested in the trappings that come along with it.<\/p>\n

She\u2019d like to fall in love first, which means she doesn\u2019t mind hurting her business dealings if the approach doesn\u2019t feel right<\/em>.<\/p>\n

What does? The way Blake (Jack O\u2019Connell) makes her heart pound darn near clean out of her body. Their chemistry crackles, and suddenly a film with modest ambitions finds its pulse.<\/p>\n

Their initial meeting is a corker, filled with sexual tension and souls colliding. O\u2019Connell plays up Blake\u2019s hunger and vulnerability. Amy’s heart is ripe for the taking.<\/p>\n

These two are destined to be together, but their dueling addictions mean trouble. Someone is gonna get hurt.<\/p>\n
