Martha Ratings & Reviews
FilmWeek (LAist)
Peter Rainer
To its credit, it doesn't pull any punches on the tough side of her.
FilmWeek (LAist)
Wade Major
I thought this was tremendous. It's one thing to make a documentary that's fairly comprehensive about Martha Stewart, but to get her to be revealing about herself -- which she does not like to do -- is quite an achievement.
Common Sense Media
Jennifer Green
A well-paced but overly lengthy documentary about a fascinating woman, this film does what you hope it will by offering new information about a very public figure.
RIOTUS
Sherin Nicole
Makes no attempts to tenderize Stewart or to arrange her so her prettiest petals touch the light...That's where we're allowed to see her fullness: through the cracks in that flawless façade...Martha Stewart is LIVING and that's on period.
New York Times
Alissa Wilkinson
"Martha" feels like a far more comprehensible key to Stewart - who has been the subject of speculation, fascination, jokes that turn cruel and plenty of schadenfreude - than half a century of media attention has managed to find.
Vox
Constance Grady
You don't necessarily want to be her, but there's something so compelling about watching her twist herself around to become this impossible-to-please empress of all she beholds.
Newsday
Robert Levin
Martha Stewart is a very difficult subject and the filmmaker never really gets a handle on her.
SSG Syndicate
Susan Granger
Martha Stewart is not happy with this callous, self-empowered, spicy documentary and - quite frankly - I don't blame her. The lifestyle guru emerges as a stern, humorless bitch. Is she? I don't know. But writer/director R.J. Cutler does her no favors.
City AM
Victoria Luxford
Martha won't make you want to invite Stewart to tea, but there is some respect earned from such an unguarded portrait. Stewart could easily have demanded a manicured fluff piece on her success, but ultimately the truth is far more fascinating.
Next Best Picture
Lauren Coates
It's a bold, bracing documentary that's valuable as both an insight into Stewart's life and a larger examination of the evolving idea of American women in the home.
Decider
John Serba
My ambivalence to the subject of this doc became earnest interest thanks to Cutler's willingness to pry behind Martha's carefully styled facade and bear the brunt of her annoyance.
Chicago Sun-Times
Richard Roeper
Through it all, Martha's gonna do Martha. Love her or hate her, admire her or fear her, there's no denying she's one of a kind.
TIME Magazine
Stephanie Zacharek
If you still need convincing that Martha Stewart is a human being much like the rest of us, R.J. Cutler's documentary Martha, streaming on Netflix, should do the trick.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Bilge Ebiri
A warts-and-all portrait of the lifestyle mogul that somehow still manages to be a hagiography.
Chicago Tribune
Nina Metz
Her imperfections - including her inability to accept them - are what make her most interesting.
Variety
Owen Gleiberman
"Martha" tells a transfixing story, and part of what makes the film so compelling is the way Cutler spins Stewart's biography into a meditation on The Meaning of Martha.
Salon.com
Melanie McFarland
Taking in "Martha" is as soothing as thumbing through the glossy pages of Living, with its parade of touched-up artfully arranged photographs interspersed with archival footage and illustrations serving as tasteful alternatives to reenactments.
San Francisco Chronicle
Carla Meyer
Stewart's impeccable instincts - and how successfully she has employed them - are too inherently fascinating a topic for "Martha" to ever truly bore.
The Hollywood Reporter
Daniel Fienberg
A very, very straightforward and linear documentary in which the actual revelations are limited more by your awareness than anything else. In lieu of revelations, though, what keeps Martha engaging is watching Cutler thrust and parry with his subject.
IndieWire
Kate Erbland
Cutler's film begins to peter out in its final moments (the forging of Stewart's highly unexpected bond with Snoop Dogg could foster its own film), but the trip there is certainly fascinating. It's a good thing.
