The movie chronicles the legendary singer’s legendary rise to worldwide fame with the release of her album Back to Black. However, it also captures the personal struggles that played out behind the scenes and sometimes in the tabloids until the time of her tragic death at the age of 27 in 2011.

Directed by Sam Taylor-Johnson, the movie stars Jack O’Connell as Amy‘s ex-husband Blake Fielder-Civil, Eddie Marsan as Amy‘s father Mitch and Lesley Manville as the singer’s grandmother Cynthia.

Back to Black premieres in theaters on April 12.
