The first clip from the upcoming biopic about the late, great Amy Winehouse has left many fans saying same thing.
Back to Black follows the extraordinary life of the extraordinary singer, from growing up in Camden, to her chart-topping highs and addiction-related lows.

Winehouse was just 27 when she died of an accidental alcohol overdose.
This, of course, will be included in the film, along with her relationship and marriage to husband, Blake Fielder-Civil.
Actor Marisa Abela will star as Amy, as Skins star Jack O'Connell will play Blake, while Eddie Marsan takes on the role of Mitch Winehouse, Amy's father.
While Back to Black will be Abela's biggest role to date, many fans have already been divided over a short clip from the movie.
