Capsule reviews of the next week’s video releases, on DVD and Blu-ray, including special features:
• “Amy” (R, 128 minutes, A24 Films/Lionsgate): Documentary on the late British singer Amy Winehouse, who died at 27 of alcohol poisoning in 2011. “Meticulously composed of present-day interviews and splendidly curated archival footage … ‘Amy’ rescues Winehouse’s reputation, restoring her to her rightful place as a jazz interpreter on par with Dinah Washington, Sarah Vaughan and Tony Bennett,” wrote Washington Post critic Ann Hornaday in her four-star review. Contains obscenity and drug references. Extras include previously unseen performances, deleted scenes, commentary with director Asif Kapadia. Blu-ray adds interviews with friends and musicians.
• “Goodnight Mommy” (R, 100 minutes, RADiUS/Anchor Bay): Austria’s 2016 entry for the Best Foreign Language Film Oscar is a creepy tale about twin boys who begin to doubt that their mother is who she says she is when she returns home from the hospital after an accident. Contains bloody, violent and disturbing images and nudity. Extras include “A Conversation with filmmakers Veronika Franz and Severin Fiala.”
• “Mistress America” (R, 86 minutes, Fox): Noah Baumbach-directed screwball comedy stars Lola Kirke as a lonely college freshman in New York who’s taken in by her impetuous soon-to-be stepsister (Greta Gerwig). Contains obscenity and some sexual references. Extras include three featurettes: “Story,” “Brooke” and “Tracy”; gallery.
