AMY is a complicated and tender movie about multi-platinum, multi-Grammy recording artists Amy Winehouse. It was the break-out sensation at last spring’s prestigious Cannes Film Festival with reviews like “a tragic masterpiece,” “brilliant,” “heartbreaking and unmissable.” This film that captures the very heart of a musical genius mushroomed into an ‘event release’ with record breaking runs in London and major cities across the U.S. The film’s critical acclaim and documented broad appeal makes it a certain Oscar nominee and odds on favorite to win the 2016 Best Documentary. With two Ritz screenings, this a groundbreaking motion picture not to be missed.
Amy Winehouse’s memory must be preserved in the company of Eli Fitzgerald and Billie Holiday. – Tony Bennett
