Critics Consensus: Back to Black's sympathetic approach to its subject's story is an overdue antidote to the tabloid treatment she often received in life, even if the end results are disappointingly pedestrian.

Steph Cozza

"Back to Black" reads like a cheap tabloid piece, reducing Amy Winehouse's life to sensationalized headlines and exploiting her struggles for a cash grab.

Back to Black left me disappointed, like a fading memory of seeing Amy Winehouse from a distance and never knowing if it was real. We don’t get close to her. Like a BuzzFeed Quiz turned biopic when the results aren’t what you hoped for.
