The new documentary
Martha, about the life of Martha Stewart, premiered on Netflix on Wednesday, and Martha Stewart does not like it. Director R.J. Cutler “had total access” to her archive, “and he really used very little. It was just
shocking,” the entrepreneur shared in an
interview with The New York Times. She conceded that the first half is decent, and she likes that it can inspire young women, but overall she is not a fan, and she was
not shy about listing her many complaints.
Among them is the fact that the doc didn’t really cover her magazine, or her love of travel, or her grandchildren, nor a bunch of other juicy anecdotes she shared.
It also didn’t include any of the music she requested. (Stewart wanted rap, but instead there’s “some lousy classical score in there, which has nothing to do with me.”) In her opinion, Cutler used the “ugliest” angle for her interviews, and focused way too on her trial and prison sentence, which was so “boring” that “The judge was
asleep at the bench.”
