R.J. Cutler, the director of Netflix's 'Martha,' discussed his film about the lifestyle guru and businesswoman and how he isn't bothered by her criticism of it.
The way Martha Stewart sees it, her life story is pretty simple. “Here’s this girl from a family of eight in Nutley, N.J., living modestly, who gets a good idea, builds it into something really fine and profits from it,” she says in “Martha,” a documentary premiering Wednesday on Netflix. Then, Stewart continues, she “falls in a hole” and has to climb out of it.
Although justifiably proud of becoming the first self-made female billionaire in American history, she admits she still doesn’t have an answer to the question, “What is more important, a marriage or a career?” The interview reveals “so much about Martha factually, but you also learn so much about her as a character,” Cutler said. “You see how challenging it was for her to confront so much of her own story. It's also a window into her as an unreliable narrator.
