Martha Stewart's Mixed Feelings about Her Netflix Documentary

Have you ever watched a movie about yourself and didn't quite like the ending? That's exactly what happened to Martha Stewart. In a chat with the New York Times, the lifestyle guru shared her thoughts on Netflix's documentary "Martha. " She loved the first half but felt the rest was "a bit lazy. " Stewart pointed out that her time in prison was just a small part of her 83-year life. She even joked about it being a vacation. Remember Stewart's insider trading case from 2004? She was sentenced to five months in prison and always described it as a harsh experience. However, in the doc, Stewart thought the director, R. J. Cutler, focused too much on that and didn't show the fun sides of her life. She wasn't happy with the unflattering shots and the fact that he kept scenes of her recovering from an injury.

Stewart also had issues with the music. She wanted some rap tunes, maybe from Dr. Dre or Snoop Dogg, who's a friend of hers. Instead, the documentary had a classical score, which Stewart thought didn't fit her vibe. Cutler didn't respond to requests for comment right away, but he told the Times he's proud of the film. Despite her complaints, Stewart said many women liked the documentary. She's glad it shows a strong woman standing up for herself and succeeding.
