Dear Annie: I’ve been happily married for more than 12 years, but lately, I’ve noticed a growing distance between my husband “Bryan” and me.

It would be a challenging undertaking for any filmmaker to attempt to represent the outsize talent, unique style and utterly devastating downfall of soul singer/songwriter Amy Winehouse in biopic form.

For both groups, it’s all too easy to get into a rut.
