Amy Winehouse: I Told You I Was Trouble (Live in London) (TV Special 2007). 1h 33m | Not Rated

“This is a review only of the documentary, which runs to around 46 minutes. This film was made around four years before her tragic death at the age of 27 – like so many other tragic figures in the world of music from Kurt Kobain to the one she most closely resembles, Janis Joplin. Joplinu0026#39;s fatal weakness was heroin. Amyu0026#39;s was alcohol. And men. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eStunningly attractive with that trademark enormous beehive, the stud in her face was perhaps excusable – a lot of young women do this nowadays for some bizarre reason – but the tattoos down her arms…yuk. At this time she was already struggling with drink, but that is not shown here, although she talks about her inner demons. We see her laughing a lot, including from older footage, and we hear from her crew, sundry fans, and at length from her biggest fan, her Dad, who since her death in 2011 has set up and run the Amy Winehouse Foundation.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWhat more can be said? This is a glimpse into a life that was and one that could have been.”
