Amy Winehouse fans have taken to social media in their droves to share their less-than-impressed reactions to a new clip from the singer's upcoming biopic.
Back to Black hits cinemas next month and follows the life and music of Winehouse up until her tragic death at the age of 27.
Directed by Sam Taylor-Johnson - whose husband Aaron is reportedly being lined up to play the next James Bond - the movie stars Marisa Abela in the leading role.
Abela is joined by several other big-name actors in the biopic including Jack O'Connell, Lesley Manville, Juliet Cowan and Eddie Marsan.
The trailer was released earlier this year but this week, the movie's verified TikTok account shared an exclusive scene from the film.
The scene features Abela in the titular role recording some of Winehouse's early tracks before performing at iconic London jazz bar, Ronnie Scott's.

Abela is joined by the likes of Manville and Marsan in the scene as they gleefully watch her perform in their roles as Winehouse's grandmother Cynthia and dad Mitch, respectively.
The clip from the movie was first shared on TikTok by the official Back to Black account and has since had the comments turned off on the post.
But it hasn't stopped fans circulating the snippet across social media, including on X, formerly Twitter, where fans had plenty to say.
One fan who shared the clip on X hit out: "Just saw a clip from the amy winehouse biopic and it’s worse than i imagined… it feels like a parody... this genuinely feels disrespectful."

The scene, which has been viewed over 216k times on TikTok and 3.8million times on X, also irked another fan who reacted: "This is the worst Karaoke I’ve ever seen. Scrap it, just scrap it."
"Seems insane to make a movie about one of the most iconic looking people and not have her look even a little bit like her," another fan criticised.
Before a fourth weighed in: "Amy was an amazing singer this tarnishes her legacy."
"This is genuinely so offensive," a fifth fumed before a sixth blasted: "These movie studios can’t be serious. What is this."
However, director Taylor-Johnson has been on the receiving end of some optimism after promoting the biopic on her personal Instagram page.
After sharing the new posters for Back to Black, one fan replied to Taylor-Johnson: "Boss lady!! Congrats, can’t wait!"
