10 Potentially Awesome Movies Released in July 2015

8. Amy

What's it about? Following on from the hugely successful Kurt Cobain documentary, Montage Of Heck, comes another documentary focusing on the life of a fellow member of the lamentable 27 Club (which includes a number of legendary musicians who died at the young age of 27), Amy. Director Asif Kapadia conducted hundreds of interviews with Amy Winehouse's friends, family and colleagues to craft a comprehensive insight into her life, talent, fame and eventual demise at the hands of drug addiction, fueled by the pressures mounted on her by an ever-encroaching paparrazzi. Why it could be awesome: Amy has already picked up rave reviews across the board, with a solid 100% Rotten Tomatoes rating based on 17 reviews, so there's little doubt that this will be well worth a watch. As a companion piece to both Montage Of Heck and Kapadia's earlier documentary Senna this continues in the recent tradition of all-access biographical documentaries which cut to the core of the issue, thanks to unbridled access provided by those closest to the subject matter. Amy is a "tragic masterpiece" - in the words of the Guardian - revealing the life of one of Britain's most talented singers.
