Martha Stewart Shares Her Displeasure with Netflix’s ‘Martha’ Documentary: ‘I Can’t Stand the Ending’

 

 

Martha Stewart expresses displeasure with Netflix’s ‘Martha’ documentary: ‘I dislike those final scenes’


Martha Stewart has more critiques to share.

 

This time, she’s voicing her concerns about director R.J. Cutler, who created the new Netflix documentary “Martha” that chronicles Stewart’s life.

“R.J. had full access to my archives, yet hardly utilized it,” she remarked in a recent interview with The New York Times. “It was really shocking to see.”

At 83 years old, Stewart commented that Cutler concentrated excessively on her well-known five-month prison term related to insider trading and lying to federal investigators about a stock transaction.

“It wasn’t a significant part of my life. That trial and the short time in prison account for less than two years in my 83 years. Honestly, I viewed it as a vacation,” she disclosed to the newspaper.

 

Stewart further expressed that “the trial was incredibly dull,” claiming that “even the judge dozed off” during it. She noted, “R.J. didn’t even mention that. The judge was asleep at his bench, and I recorded it in my diary every day.”

 

Cutler responded to Stewart’s criticisms in a statement to The New York Times.

“I take great pride in this film and greatly respect Martha for trusting me with her story,” Cutler said. “It’s understandable that she might find it difficult to accept some aspects.” He added that “Martha” represents “a film, not a Wikipedia entry” and encapsulates “the life of an extraordinarily fascinating individual who is both complex and visionary.”

 

YSL News reached out to representatives for both Stewart and Cutler for further comments.

 

This isn’t the first time Stewart has mentioned her discontent with the latter portion of the film, although she has repeatedly acknowledged that she appreciates the beginning.

 

“It focuses too much on my unfair trial,” Stewart said to Joanna Coles, Daily Beast’s chief creative and content officer, back in September.

 

Martha Stewart was unhappy that Snoop Dogg’s music was initially absent from film

The lifestyle expert lamented that the documentary about her life neglected to feature rap music or any tracks from her close friend Snoop Dogg.

“I told R.J., ‘Including rap music is crucial to the film.’ I suggested Dr. Dre or Snoop or Fredwreck could score it. I insisted on that music. Instead, he opted for some uninspiring classical soundtrack, which had no connection to me,” she explained.

However, her friend’s song “Beautiful” was later included in the film’s closing credits after Stewart viewed an initial version, according to The New York Times.

 

Stewart also directed more criticism at Cutler regarding the camera angles used in the documentary, sharing with NYT that Cutler “had three cameras recording me, and yet he picked the least flattering angle. I told him, ‘Please don’t use that shot; it’s not my best angle. You had three to choose from. Go with a better one.’ But he refused to alter it.”

 

Martha Stewart feels she appeared as a ‘lonely old lady’ in the finale of ‘Martha’ on Netflix

In the concluding scenes of the documentary that stirred her “hate,” Stewart  strolls through the vibrant landscapes and gardens of what seems to be her Turkey Hill estate in Connecticut.

 

“Those final clips of me looking like a sad, old woman hunched over in the garden? I told him to cut those out. But he wouldn’t listen. I absolutely despise those last scenes. I really do,” she expressed. Stewart also raised concerns about how the producers omitted mentioning that she was coping with an injury while filming the clips of her walking around her property.

“I had a ruptured Achilles’ tendon and underwent a pretty gruesome surgery. So, I was limping a bit. Yet, he didn’t even bother to explain why — that I’m able to endure that and still work every day of the week,” Stewart shared with the outlet.
