Martha Stewart shared her honest critique of a new documentary about her life, praising the first half while calling the rest “a bit lazy.” She felt the film spent too much time on her time in prison and lacked color, describing the portrayal of her time in federal lockup as a “horrifying experience.” Stewart was particularly critical of the unflattering camera angles and lack of context in the final scenes of the documentary. She also wished for a lighter tone and wanted rap music, such as Dr. Dre or Snoop Dogg, to be included in the musical score.
Despite her complaints, Stewart acknowledged that the documentary showed her as a strong woman who stood up for herself, enduring both horror and success throughout her life. While the film received mixed reviews from Stewart herself, she noted that many women have approached her to praise the retrospective, showing that it resonated with viewers. The documentarian, R.J. Cutler, expressed pride in his work but understood Stewart’s difficulty in seeing certain aspects of it. Overall, Stewart’s review of the documentary highlighted her desire for a more whimsical and well-rounded portrayal of her life and accomplishments.
