Marisa Abela had done most of the singing in this film herself. She trained extensively to mimic Amy Winehouse's vocals.
Scenes were filmed at Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club at 47 Frith Street, Soho, London W1D 4HT, England and outside Winehouse's first flat in Camden Town, and at Primrose Hill, London. In February, scenes were filmed inside the Metropolis Studios in Chiswick, London.
Jeff Tunke claimed he was cast as Mark Ronson, but that most of his scenes were deleted. However, director Sam Taylor-Johnson said Ronson was never a character in the film.
Following the death of Winehouse on July 23, 2011, several filmmakers attempted to create biopic projects but none of them progressed. By 2022, StudioCanal UK moved forward with production, and filming took place in London from January to April 2023.
On Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds an approval rating of 39% based on 59 reviews, with an average rating of 4.6/10. The website's consensus reads: "Back to Black's sympathetic approach to its subject's story is an overdue antidote to the tabloid treatment she often received in life, even if the end results are disappointingly pedestrian."
