Controversy Surrounds Amy Winehouse Biopic as Close Friend Expresses Disapproval

Tyler James, a lifelong friend of Amy Winehouse, criticizes the new film 'Back to Black' for its portrayal and handling of sensitive themes.

James describes the biopic as 'hugely triggering,' citing its depiction of Winehouse's struggles with addiction.
He argues the film overly focuses on Winehouse's relationship with ex-husband Blake Fielder-Civil, overshadowing other aspects of her life.
James felt the portrayal missed the essence of Winehouse, emphasizing a need for a more nuanced depiction.
Despite approval from Winehouse's estate, James highlights a lack of consultation with close friends in the film's production.
The film is set for a U.S. release on May 17, amid ongoing debates about its accuracy and sensitivity.
