As a music enthusiast in the States, I’m thrilled to share that you can now stream “Back to Black” on Peacock, a privilege extended to all its subscribers. If streaming isn’t your thing, you can rent or purchase this classic from Amazon Prime Video, among other digital retailers that cater to our modern viewing needs.

As a gamer, I had been eagerly anticipating the cinema release of Back to Black, but its premiere in April was marred by criticisms that it exploited Amy Winehouse’s legacy. To make matters worse, leaked set photos sparked a backlash against the movie for seeming to sensationalize her tragic story.

Jack O’Connell, the actor portraying Blake, upheld that the film serves as an homage, honoring both the life and musical talent of Amy Winehouse.

He said, “In other words, if someone were attempting to present her in an unfavorable manner, it could indeed be justified, and I can see why a few individuals might anticipate such portrayal.”

In conversation with Digital Spy, Abela admitted that she comprehended the intense examination, as she was experiencing it herself, partially.

She mused, “It seemed as though I wasn’t the only one feeling this way. Yet, no one else shared my conviction that this had to be correct. To put it simply, if anyone felt, ‘This has to be excellent,’ it was undeniably me.”

The movie “Back to Black” will start streaming on Netflix in the United Kingdom and Ireland beginning September 12. Alternatively, you can purchase or rent it right now through Amazon Prime Video.
