判決: You Know It's No Good

率ing:

'I get all I need from the Daily Mail,' says the saintly Blake Fielder-Civil in 支援する To 黒人／ボイコット, Sam Taylor-Johnson's new biopic of that most talented, most troubled of singers,?Amy Winehouse.

It's the wisest choice in a film that makes a hundred bad ones, の中で them its 決定／判定勝ち（する） to portray Fielder-Civil ― Winehouse's, let's say, 議論の的になる ex- husband ― as saintly in the first place.?

Here, as played by the 極端に buff Jack O'Connell, he's a 肉親，親類d of winsome, toe-（電話線からの）盗聴 Jack the Lad who's only incidentally 伴う／関わるd in his wife's 降下／家系 into 中毒.

Not that you'd really know about Winehouse's 降下／家系 into 中毒 from this film. That's another of its bad choices.?

We always seem to 遭遇（する） her apr?s-bender or 地位，任命する-fight, rather than in the moment itself. 支援する To 黒人／ボイコット shies away from the ugly stuff so 完全に that it いつかs looks like a perfume 広告: soft-f ocused and pretty.

Marisa Abela, as Winehouse, has certainly put in the effort to recreate her subject?s look and even her sound

Back To Black shies away from the ugly stuff so thoroughly that it sometimes looks like a perfume ad: soft-focused and pretty

So surely it must really concentrate on ― and celebrate ― the good stuff? The actual music? Hmm. That was the 約束, but it doesn't really come to pass.

Marisa Abela, as Winehouse, has certainly put in the 成果／努力 to recreate her 支配する's look and even her sound. There's the same uplifted hairdo. The same lip piercing and tattoos. The same London drawl and jazzy singing 発言する／表明する.

But there's a big problem: it ain't 現実に her. This 90 per cent facsimile just draws attention to the 行方不明の 10 per cent: the wayward genius of the 初めの artist.

Much better to put on 支援する To 黒人／ボイコット, the album, or the song, and remember what really made Winehouse a 星／主役にする.
