Back to Black and the State of the Music Biopic

From Elvis to Bob Marley: One Love, the music biopic has proven back in fashion with theatergoers, even if their quality can sometimes (increasingly?) leave much to be desired. This week, Vanity Fair staff writer Savannah Walsh joins Richard and David to break down how the new Amy Winehouse drama, Back to Black, fits into this trend, before reflecting on the genre more broadly—from a few personal favorites to the many examples that haven't worked over the past few years.
