The review embargo for the Amy Winehouse biopic Back to Black has been lifted, with the movie receiving a brutal response from critics.Starring English actress Marisa Abela as Winehouse, the film documents the late singer's tumultuous relationship with ex-husband Blake Fielder-Civil , which inspired her to write her Grammy-winning 2006 album Back to Black.
