Headline: Jack O'Connell insists Back to Black is 'a celebration' of Amy Winehouse's life

Caption: The Unbroken actor, who plays Winehouse's ex-husband Blake Fielder-Civil in the biopic, has addressed the criticism that Sam Taylor-Johnson's film is coming out too soon after the singer's death in 2011. "What is the acceptable timescale of that?" he responded in an interview with The Sunday Times. "Put it like this: if we were trying to portray her in any form of negative light, then that might be a valid point and I can understand one or two people pre-empting that.
