Martha Stewart Critiques Netflix Documentary 'Martha'

Martha Stewart has expressed strong dissatisfaction with Netflix's documentary 'Martha,' directed by R.J. Cutler, particularly criticizing its focus on her prison sentence and the portrayal of her in the latter half. While she praised the first half of the film, she described the second half as 'lazy' and claimed it used 'ugly' camera angles and omitted significant aspects of her life, such as her grandchildren and professional achievements. Stewart noted her five-month prison sentence was a minor part of her 83-year life, referring to it as a 'vacation' and lamenting the lack of context around her recovery from an Achilles tendon injury in the final scenes. Cutler defended the film, stating that it aims to depict the complexities of Stewart's life. Despite her critiques, Stewart acknowledged that the documentary presents lesser-known aspects of her journey. This candid feedback reflects her desire for a more colorful and accurate representation of her life and experiences.
