Martha Stewart expressed mixed feelings about the new documentary “Martha,” praising the first half while criticizing the second half as “a bit lazy.” She felt that the film focused too much on her time in prison, which she described as a “vacation,” and lacked color. Stewart was unhappy with the unflattering way she was portrayed by documentarian R.J. Cutler, particularly the camera angles and final scenes. She wanted the documentary to include more whimsical anecdotes and a lighter tone, suggesting that rap music should be part of the musical score. Cutler, on the other hand, defended his work and said it may be difficult for Stewart to see certain aspects. Despite her criticisms, Stewart acknowledged that the documentary shows a strong woman standing up for herself and living through both horror and success. She has received positive feedback from women who appreciate her story.
