Made with the approval of Amy’s family, the movie is named after her 2006 album Back To Black, which gave the world her best-known single Rehab.

In real life, when Amy won a Grammy for Rehab, she went viral for her cheeky reaction to the title of Justin’s new song, which was nominated against hers.

Although the new biopic recreates the dramatic moment she was given the prize, her scathing aside about Justin has been deleted.

The film has been criticized for its ‘sanitized’ approach to Amy’s rollercoaster life and career, which ended in 2011 when she died of alcohol poisoning at the age of 27.

Amy’s hot mic moment occurred three years earlier during a much higher point – the night she won Record Of The Year at the Grammys for Rehab.

She was standing in front of a microphone after singing, and appeared not to realize she was still on camera as the list of nominees was being read out.

When presenter Natalie Cole named Justin’s breakup single What Goes Around… Comes Around, Amy was unable to contain herself.

She grimaced, turned to someone near her and asked incredulously: ‘His album’s called What Goes Around… Comes Around?’

Then when Rehab was announced as the winner, Amy was stunned into silence, her mouth falling open in disbelief as the audience erupted into applause.

The new film, Back To Black, was directed by Sam Taylor-Johnson, 57, whose husband Aaron Taylor-Johnson, 33, is rumored to be next in line to play James Bond.

Leading lady Marisa Abela has drawn acclaim for her performance as Amy, even while the film itself was met with a frostier reception.

Longtime film critic Peter Travers called the movie ‘sanitized and superficial’ to ABC News, while praising the ‘stunning ferocity and feeling’ of Marisa’s acting.

‘Back To Black is far from the first biopic that smooths the edges off real people for the Hollywood treatment,’ the New York Times review noted. ‘But because the movie’s stated aim is to re-center Amy in her own story, it feels gross.’

The movie was accused of having ‘nothing new or interesting to say about Amy Winehouse or her music,’ in a review for the New York Observer.

Meanwhile the Associated Press critic called Back To Black ‘a tame and mediocre affair’ as a movie and ‘dreadful’ as a ‘portrait’ of its subject.

Back To Black bowed in the UK on April 12 but did not receive a theatrical release in the United States until this Friday, over a month later.
