Amy shows us the vibrant and all-too-vulnerable person behind the tabloid caricature, and will make you hate yourself for ever having laughed at Jay Leno or the many other comedians who used her as the butt of a cheap joke.

The film will leave you feeling exhausted -- it's vibrant, haunting and, I've probably overused it, but also overwhelmingly sad.

If you're a fan of documentaries, the film is worth seeing -- even if you aren't a fan of Winehouse's music -- because it's a remarkable piece of curation.

Tawdry ... the perfect documentary for an age of leering, intrusive celebrity culture, and enthusiastic, gossipy prurience.

Plenty of folks praise Winehouse in "Amy." But no one was there to save her. Perhaps it wasn't possible. But perhaps it was.

Amy is a tough watch, but you must.

It's Amy's words, her music, her voicemails, her home videos, her friends, her family, her tormentors, and her timeless incandescence. Look, listen and weep.
