We’re all seeing the new film right? I personally think that actress is a bit bubbly and squeaky for Amy from the trailer. She just seems quite little girly. But I guess Amy did have a vulnerability to her
Yeah, it’s currently at 50% on Rotton Tomatoes (which is another 3% down since I last looked about an hour ago lol).Is it not getting a right pounding?
From what I've read, they seem to sugarcoat Blake which has pissed off Amy's friends. She also seems to have made Mitch look like Dad Of The Year while those who helped Amy like Mark don't even get a look in. The only one who seems to get a decent review is the girl who plays Amy.Yeah, it’s currently at 50% on Rotton Tomatoes (which is another 3% down since I last looked about an hour ago lol).

Sounds like it is not an accurate portrayal at all.From what I've read, they seem to sugarcoat Blake which has pissed off Amy's friends.
Yeah, all of her friends and colleagues have been pretty much sidelined and Mitch and Blake have been put front and centre.From what I've read, they seem to sugarcoat Blake which has pissed off Amy's friends.

Sam was asked about it at the premiere and this is her answer :Sounds to me like they ve romanticised the relationship and maybe also the addiction side of things. When we know the truth it’s hard to watch something that glosses over the harsh realities.
If you have to sugarcoat something so much that they are a caricature...or Disney Prince as some called him, rather than the person they are supposed to be, it's fiction and shouldn't be called a biopic. If you want to show why she fell in love with him then you also have to show why she ended up the way she did and it's not villainising him or casting judgement on him when he actually copped to some of the stuff he was accused of and others who were there confirmed the rest. Maybe if it had been a more willing director fine with going there and showing it warts and all it would have come out better. As well as them having people involved who wanted the true story out there and not those who just wanted to make themselves look better regardless if it was the truth or not.‘We had to understand why Amy fell in love with him, so it wasn’t about making a one-dimensional villain.
'We had to fall in love with him to understand why she wrote one of the greatest albums about their love.
‘In terms of Blake, it wasn’t my place to cast judgement on somebody who was obviously an addict, and on the two of them having this intense, albeit toxic, love affair.’
From interviews, she honestly seems to think that it is a good film, they are celebrating her and anyone who thinks it's tit is wrong.I said on the general celeb thread that I've got to wonder about STJ and the screenwriter that they whitewashed two of the the worst people in her life and completely disregarded most of those who actually had any care for her.
