Description:
Amy Winehouse fans are flocking to visit the star's favourite haunts following the release of a new biopic - despite mixed reviews.<br/><br/>The late singer is heavily associated with the London borough of Camden, which also served as a backdrop to many scenes in the recently released 'Back to Black'.<br/><br/>The film has come in for criticism, with some claiming it goes too easy on Winehouse's dad Mitch and her ex-husband, Blake Fielder-Civil.<br/><br/>Fans revealed on Wednesday they had travelled from all over to visit Camden - with one couple having journeyed more than 700 miles from Barcelona.<br/><br/>Scarlet Elias, 43, came from the Spanish city with her partner Albert to see a statue of the singer - but says she refuses to watch the film.<br/><br/>She said: “We are huge fans. I am always looking for places with Amy Winehouse. <br/><br/>“I haven’t seen it because of the way it shows her father. I don’t think he treated her right. The film shouldn’t have been made in this way. It is too focused on her relationship with Blake. <br/><br/>“She was a good singer; it shouldn’t be about all the drugs she did.”<br/><br/>The bronze statue, created by Scott Eaton, was unveiled in Stables Market in 2014, three years after the singer's death.<br/><br/>Ayoub Achkah, 24, works serving beer next to the statue and says Winehouse brings in lots of customers.<br/><br/>He said: “Everyone everyday poses with that statue. People are always asking us where the statue is even though it is right in front of them.<br/><br/>“It brings a lot of people here for sure. They come here for the statue and end up having a beer. <br/><br/>“Amy Winehouse is Camden. She brought it to where it is now. It is a small statue but it is the symbol of Camden.”<br/><br/>Similar beliefs were held by fans who had flocked to the street art mural of Winehouse, painted by artist JXC on the back of The Hawley Arms pub.<br/><br/>Two students from Brighton University were visiting the mural mere moments after watching the movie on an Amy Winehouse themed tour of Camden.<br/><br/>The pair had conflicting opinions on the films more controversial scenes, but were in agreement that lead actress Marisa Abela had done a great job. <br/><br/>Lewis McClean, 20, said: “We are big fans. We have just seen the movie. We feel very conflicted about it. <br/><br/>“The lady who played Amy was very good, she did her justice. That is something I was worried about going in. I really liked the movie. <br/><br/>“She knew that she had to go through a struggle to make good music and I am glad they portrayed that. To make a good film you have to put in the juicy parts.”<br/><br/>Maddy Gower, 21, added: “I feel very conflicted about the father stuff. In the film they made him look like a hero.<br/><br/>“[And] there was a part where she says, ‘I just want to be known for what I do’ but they just showed the drugs.<br/><br/>“Amy is so unique, and I think the actress did a very good job.\
