In February 2015 , a teaser trailer based on the life of Winehouse debuted at the pre-Grammy event in the build-up to the 2015 Grammy Awards . David Joseph , CEO of Universal Music UK , announced that the documentary entitled simply '' Amy '' would be released later that year . He further stated : " About two years ago we decided to make a movie about her — her career and her life . It 's a very complicated and tender movie . It tackles lots of things about family and media , fame , addiction , but most importantly , it captures the very heart of what she was about , which is an amazing person and a true musical genius . " The film was shown in the Midnight Screenings section at the 2015 Cannes Film Festival and received its UK premiere at the Edinburgh International Film Festival
