ive only seen it once in theaters, i just cant watch it because it makes me really upset

[Poom]

Countless times. I've seen it three times in Czech cinema, once in a rooftop cinema in London and once in our student cinema. After the DVD came out, I used to watch it almost every Saturday when I had to babysit. I don't watch it as much anymore, but maybe once a month.
At first, I found it extremely difficult and after I saw it for the first time, I was determined to never watch it again, but I still find if mind-blowing to see how much she changed in such a short time and find it difficult to understand where it all went wrong. I think that's partially why I keep rewatching it, the other reason being that it feels like seeing an old friend and hanging with Amy for a bit, even if it's through the screen.

Five times. It's one of my all time favourite films. However, I've tried watching again repeatedly and every time, right when it gets to the part where Nicky takes Amy out to the country in his car to confront her about her alcoholism, I get so enraged and upset knowing what's going to happen after this that I just can't bring myself to keep watching it and turn it off. In fact, I can't really bring myself to watch it anymore, because I know that by the end of it I'll feel just like I did the first time I saw it - heartbroken, in tears, and dejected for hours after. It's not that I think any less of it as a film or of Amy and my admiration for her, it's just that it frankly hurts too goddamned much.

ive watched it about 4 or 5 times all the way through and watched it up until the half way point about 3 or 4 times. I love the first half because of the intimacy and i find the second half harder to watch obviously cause its sad but also there aren't as many intamate moments.

About 5 or 6 times

I've watched it 3 or 4 times. I like it because it brings her back to life and I love seeing all the earlier clips in the first half of the film. But no matter how many times I watch it, I always feel a little tearful when she dies at the end.

I've def watched it at least 20 times lol, so you're not alone. I went through a period where I watched it several times a week. It's a beautiful film and like someone mentioned, watching it feels like you're spending time with Amy.

Several times, it is the film that best represents their situation, but I have to say that I cannot watch it when I am sad or depressed. The beginning is beautiful, seeing this feeling of departure, how excited she is to perform, how the future lies ahead of her. As soon as Blake is involved, the young, self-confident woman Amy is gone. The crazy thing about it is that in my opinion it is regressing. And how Blake has her under control can be seen in the almost scary scene where they are in the rehabilitation facility in Essex and he forces her to sing Rehab for him. You can see how helpless and uncomfortable she feels. Or the night they got married - sitting at different tables? He doesn't act like he loves her (he doesn't).

The saddest thing is the end, when the credits roll and you see how it all began and then it was over so quickly, about 7 years.

They were sitting at different tables because she was interviewed by Jenny Eliscu for cover story of Rolling Stone mag where Amy ''avails herself of every possible opportunity to lean over and whisper or smooch''
