Back to Black Ratings & Reviews
- Kevin WardJuly 1, 2025Marisa Abela is genuinely great. Her vocal work is seriously impressive in her performance of an iconic voice. For that reason, I really wanted to like this film more. Somehow this is just the biggest nothing-burger of a film story-wise. There’s just nothing interesting covered and it’s interspersed with poorly produced montages and musical numbers. Again, Abela’s performances of the songs are admirable, but they’re shot in the most bland fashion. Watch the A24 doc instead.
