Earlier in the week, Winehouse's best friend told how the singer would be “fuming” at new biopic Back To Black, insisting: “She deserves better.”
In an emotional interview, Tyler James said the film resembled a “fantasy movie” and could never be described as a full biographical look at her life.
He told The Sun on Sunday: “I wish Amy could have seen it. She’d be fuming. Amy deserved a lot better. She was a superstar.
“I was not expecting it to be realistic or completely accurate. But it was worse than I thought it would be. It was dreadful and does not do her justice.

“She was the most amazing, beautiful person that I have ever met in my life. She was hilariously funny, intelligent and smart. That didn’t come across.”
