In a surprising twist, Back to Black, the Amy Winehouse biopic that faced harsh reviews upon its theatrical release, is now taking Netflix by storm. Released in February 2024 and starring Marisa Abela as the late singer, the film has soared to the top of Netflix charts, despite backlash over its portrayal of Winehouse’s tumultuous life and relationship with Blake Fielder-Civil.
Fans initially slammed the movie for exploiting Winehouse’s struggles, but curiosity has driven many to stream it. While critics panned it with a 35% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, audience scores sit at a stunning 86%.
Despite the controversy, Abela’s portrayal has been widely praised, even as viewers remain divided over the film’s approach.
