I really hope that when Amy wins the Best Documentary award at the Academy Awards, more people will take the time to check it out. It's far more than just an intimate look at her life - but an intimate look at the we treat others, the inability to recognize our own flaws and gain perspective, and just how damning celebria really can be.
Mitch requested that he wants the film to be further edited, but the film crew have declined his wish, adding: "When we were approached to make the film, we came on board with the full backing of the Winehouse family, and we approached the project with total objectivity." They said the film reflects findings from around "100 interviews with people that knew Amy". On 3 July 2015 (the day Amy was initially released), the singer's father, Mitch appeared on Loose Women to defend his place against the film and announced that himself and Winehouse's former boyfriend, Reg Traviss are making an alternative film so it's a "more accurate" project, to "correct all the wrongs and omissions" that were in Kapadia's film.
Mitch Winehouse and Reg Traviss are such trash. Always finding ways to mooch off of Amy's legacy.

It was so well made. Kind of hilarious that Mitch hates it because it showed that he was kind of awful, lmao.
