'Amy': Finally See the Moving Trailer for the Amy Winehouse Documentary

While most of us were not lucky enough to attend the Cannes Film Festival in France and catch a viewing of the controversial Amy Winehouse documentary, now we can at least watch the trailer.

Asif Kapadia's film, which hits theaters this July, has been praised by critics in its advanced screenings. The film follows the rise and brilliant fall of talented singer Winehouse, who died at 27. The documentary pieces together archive footage and old interviews, along with home videos to give a unique view of who the troubled singer really was.

It also touches on Winehouse's relationship with her ex-husband Blake Fielder-Civil.

"I fell in love with someone I would have died for," Winehouse says in the trailer. "And that's like a real drug, isn't it?"

Although the trailer certainly suggests a sensitive and moving portrait of a fragile and troubled star, Winehouse's family has been openly critical of the film.

Last month they told Rolling Stone, "The Winehouse family would like to disassociate themselves frm the forthcoming film about their much missed and beloved Amy."

They note that the documentary shows an unbalanced portrayal of the singer, with interviews only from a narrow group of her friends, and that it does a disservice to those suffering from addiction. The family objects to the way Winehouse's father, Mitch, is shown as partially responsible for her foray into drugs and alcohol.

Reg Traviss, who was Winehouse's partner at the time of her death, calls the film "a fictionalized biopic centered around a distorted depiction of Amy's life."

The makers of "Amy" have responded, saying "We came on board with the full backing of the Winehouse family, and we approached the project with total objectivity."
