Stewart called out RJ Cutler for the Netflix documentary’s ineffective camera angles, “lousy” music, and “lazy” ending.

Martha Stewart is surprised by RJ Cutler’s documentary about herself. In a recent interview with The New York Times, the 83-year-old revealed her true opinion about the recently launched Netflix biopic – Martha. Calling the ending “lazy”, she revealed how much she “hated” the final scenes.

“RJ had complete access, and he really used very little,” he said of the 62-year-old filmmaker. He added, “It was very shocking.” Stewart chided Cutler for the film’s “lousy” musical score. “I said to RJ, ‘An essential part of the movie is that you play rap music,'” he recalled, “Dr. Dre would probably score it, or Snoop or Fredwreck. I said, ‘I want that music. ‘ And then he’s got some cheesy classical score in there that has nothing to do with me.

Stewart did not hesitate to criticize the film’s ineffective camera angles. Of Cutler, she said, “He had three cameras on me.” “And he chooses to use the ugliest angle. And I told him, ‘Don’t use that angle! That’s not the best angle. You had three cameras. Use another angle.’ That won’t change it,” the businesswoman said. He argued that instead of exploring the colorful side of his life, the documentary spends “too much time” on his “extremely boring” 2004 trial.

He further explained how the essence of his magazine was lost. “My magazine, my Martha Stewart magazine, which you could call traditional, was the most modern home magazine ever created. We had pioneer photography. No one has ever depicted puff pastry the way I have. Or the vocabulary of apple and chrysanthemum. And we were very proud of all that modernity. And he got none of it,” Stewart told the outlet.

The mother of one of the children criticized the showrunners for not portraying her grandchildren in the film. “Where are my grandchildren?” He noted. “There is no mention at all. And these grandchildren are absolutely wonderful. My daughter was strongly against the inclusion of children. But I could talk about them and I did. I’ve taken them to the most unusual places in the world, and they’re only 12 and 13 years old. My love for traveling was not mentioned. My trip to Kilimanjaro was not mentioned!” Stewart added.
