A great opportunity to set a legacy with this movie, and yet its just a bit aggy and collapses with an emphasis on the wrong side of Amys journey.
Yes she was an addict. Yes she had boy issues. Yes perhaps a bit foul mouthed and aggressive at times. Zzzzz.
But the movie makes her seem dislikeable. Was she? Worse still, and most importantly, the movie does an extremely poor job of depicting how she turns pain into gold. Heartache into grammy. Its just glossed over as if it was done in between scenes in her life. And if this part was effectively portrayed everything else would have been secondary. Sadly, its those "secondary" bits that dominate the movie. A missed opportunity.
