The image of the real Winehouse walking down the streets of London in those tiny, flimsy ballet slippers, staring mournfully at the paparazzi that harassed her until her death, is one of those indelible moments from ’00s pop culture that are forever imprinted on my brain.
I don’t think there’s a former Perez Hilton reader alive who could watch Abela, playing Amy, strut down the street in a facsimile of those same shoes and not feel a sad queasiness of guilt for participating in the singer’s trauma, no matter if it was just through the screen.During her lifetime Amy Winehouse was a controversial figure, one who it seems the mainstream media didn’t know what to do with.
To them it felt incongruous that someone who could pen the soulful, beautiful songs on her debut album Frank and the multi-Grammy-winning breakthrough Back to Black could also be, well, a complicated person, struggling with demons and addictions.
After she became well-known for her music, Winehouse began to be relentlessly stalked by the tabloids, who called her cruel names and mocked her viciously.
Then, after her 2011 death from alcohol poisoning, we began to reexamine our behavior, as we have for similarly “messy” women from the ‘90s and ’00s.
The culture quickly started to decry her treatment, calling her a victim.But Winehouse was something much more poignant than either of these portrayals.
Simply put, she was a nuanced woman, the kind that our society struggles to digest.
But Abela is hoping that her film, which is released in the US on Friday, will start to change that.“What we’ve done with our film, I really think, is give Amy some semblance of her power back,” Abela says.

Marisa Abela as the doomed singer — opens in the US, after earning eyebrow-raising reviews in the UK. A critic for the Evening Standard called it “so bad it made me gasp in horror” and wrote that it “does not paint a nice or fair picture of [Winehouse] as a human.”Her friends and colleagues in New York City, like saxophonist Ian Hendrickson-Smith, remember her as “wonderful.” They knew a fun-loving, mischievous and incredibly talented woman prior to the tragedy that later played out before paparazzi cameras: the smeared mascara and ratty beehive and body visibly ravaged by drugs and drink and bulimia.Winehouse came to the city in March 2006 to record what would be her career-making second album, “Back to Black.” Produced by Mark Ronson, the record was made at the now defunct Chung King Studios near Sohoas well as at the stripped-down Daptone Studios in Bushwick, Brooklyn, with musical accompaniment provided by a crack local jazz/soul outfit called the Dap-Kings.“I was struck by how big her sound was, coming out of a small physique,” Ian Hendrickson-Smith, who played baritone sax with the group, recalled to The Post.
