Actor Marisa Abela spoke about the upcoming Amy Winehouse biopic Back To Black, in which she plays the pop star, at the Harper’s Bazaar International Women’s Day event last night. “We don’t judge Amy in our film,” Abela told an audience at The Peninsula London.
The film, due for release on April 12, has attracted some debate over whether it glamorises Winehouse’s plight before her untimely death. “How have we got to this place where she is a victim of her own story? Of course, she was a victim of addiction and the media, but before all of that, she was a powerful woman,” Abela said.
