For all her God-given talent, Amy Winehouse was a woman who was driven by her demons and insecurities. She had ineffective parents, and an enabling dad who exploited her vulnerabilities for his own sake. Her manager, who was also her promoter, dragged her to performances when she was clearly unable to perform. She was in a codependent marriage with a man who kept her sick so he wouldn’t lose his meal ticket. Add drugs and bulimia to the mix and you have the documentary “Amy.”
“Amy” begins with a 14-year old Winehouse singing a sultry rendition of “Happy Birthday” at party with her friends. It’s apparent even at 14 that Amy Winehouse had it: presence, the persona of an old soul, and a voice comparable to the likes of Dinah Washington and Billie Holiday. We see childhood footage of a insecure child devastated by her parent’s divorce, and who desperately sought approval of her father. At 18 we see her and her 19-year old friend/manager record some demos and shop around for a record deal. In 2003 we’re right with her when she releases “Frank” on Island Records. From Frank to Back to Black we start to see cracks in Winehouse’s facade, and the start of what was to come.
From 2007 to the time of Winehouse’s death, she becomes the punchline of jokes and a living public service announcement on the dangers of drugs. Her descent is so tragic that it’s easier to make fun of her downfall than empathize with her. In 2011 Winehouse attempts a comeback, and there’s glimmers of what once was. However, years of binging, purging, and drug use ended up killing her.
Throughout it all, Winehouse’s blend of 60’s girls group-like harmonies, R&B, jazz, and torch song material resonated with audiences everywhere. “Amy” doesn’t exploit the very real problems of a tortured diva, but it doesn’t shy away or glorify her demons as part of her shtick. Amy Winehouse had friends and associates who truly cared about her, but she pushed them away and sabotaged her success. In doing so, Winehouse surrounded herself with people who enabled her to death for their own selfish reasons. The gist of it was as troubled as she was, it was Winehouse who made her choices. An example of this was when she says after her Grammy win, “Things are so boring without drugs.”
Sadly, the music industry is boring without her around, and “Amy” shows us how much of a rare gem Winehouse was. She was able to introduce listeners to music of a bygone era and do it flawlessly, without watering it down or making it more accessible for her audience. She didn’t care for a crowd of 50,000 people, as she embodied the intimacy of a true jazz singer. Winehouse’s musical depth was an extension of her tumultuous life, which fueled her creativity and art. It’s just sad it took her death to truly appreciate how talented she was.
But there are millions of Amy's out there suffering, most just don't have an extraordinary talent like Amy. And when Amy's star began rising her father, Mitch, was suddenly there all the time? My "Momdar" quickly elevated to Defcon 5. After watching the film, I'm not really sure there was anyone that didn't want Amy for something. And everyone deserves to have a "safe human" - One person who only cares about you. Who doesn't weigh how much money you will or won't be bringing in or about contracts and returns. I believe, at a minimum, that should be her parents. But neither parents seemed all that interested in Amy - until she started to become famous.
But other than that, she was ordinary girl who was an addict. Sadly, despite all the advances in cancer and HIV treatment and other illnesses, there has been minimal improvement in the deadly disease that is called addiction. Many who see this will think that her "issues" caused her addiction. They would likely be wrong. Which is why science requires the scientific method - to eliminate judgments based on anecdotal information, which is how addiction treatment has historically been approached (and more probably why it has failed so dismally). The fact is, many people have "issues". But only a small percent become addicts. And many people don't have "issues" and a small percent become addicts. So, if you can accept that it's not the "issues" then you have to accept that addiction is as random as certain cancers, often with a genetic component.
I have to say though, watching Amy's face when she meets and sings with her idol, Tony Bennett - that was the ultimate. She so clearly adored him and it was evident - this wasn't mugging for the camera. I loved how patient Tony was with her, when she started freaking out, worried she was 'wasting his time'. He was the father figure she yearned for. It was just too little too late.
The heartbreaking part is that so many people were far more invested in Amy "going out there and performing" than in doing what was best for Amy. And Amy's "father", Mitch, absolving himself of responsibility, by saying it was up to Amy is absurd. That is a rationalization of the first order. He just didn't want to stop the cash cow. So to see him speaking about addiction, is like watching John Hinckley lecture on mental health and gun control.
So many booed and made fun of Amy towards the end. But, even as it was happening IRL, all I saw was a sick person in desperate need of help. If it were cancer or Parkinson's or traumatic brain injury, nobody would dare joke or laugh. But addiction? Because people think that's a choice, then somehow its ok? The world lost the most amazing and innovative Jazz singer in years. But all too few grieved the loss of Amy the girl?
I didn't feel better or uplifted or really much of anything after watching this well-done documentary other than grim sadness. There was no happy underlying message or even anything remotely redeeming. It was just the visual and auditory experience of unnecessary loss.
