Martha Stewart wanted Snoop Dogg to score the documentary ‘Martha’

Martha Stewart had more than a few complaints about RJ Cutler’s Netflix documentary “Martha.”

The iconic businesswoman told the New York Times that she “hates” how the film ended with her “looking like a lonely old lady.” And don’t even get Stewart started on the “bad classical score,” especially when her boyfriend Snoop Dogg could have easily been part of the feature instead.

“I told (director) RJ, ‘An essential part of the film is that you play rap music,’” Stewart said. “Dr. Dre will probably score it, or (Snoop Dogg) or Fredwreck. I said, ‘I want that music.’ And then he gets a crappy classical score on top of that, which has nothing to do with me.

While Stewart loved “the first half of the documentary,” the second half fell short. The final part of the film involves her imprisonment and revival of her career. As Kate Erbland’s IndieWire review presents, “Martha” presents a “before” and an “after” Stewart, and the real Stewart didn’t understand why there had to be a distinction.

“It wasn’t that important,” Stewart said of her time in prison. “The trial and actual incarceration took less than two years of an 83-year-old life. I thought of it as a vacation, to tell you the truth.”

She added: “The process itself was extremely boring. Even the judge fell asleep. RJ didn’t even put that in there. The judge was sleeping on the court. I wrote it in my diary every day.”

Additionally, according to Stewart, director Cutler used “very little” of her personal archives, which she found “shocking.” Stewart was also upset that there was no mention of her grandchildren in the film.

‘Those last scenes where I look like a lonely old lady hunched over in the garden? Boy, I told him (Cutler) to get rid of that,” Stewart said. “And he refused. I hate those last scenes. Hate them.”

Still, “Martha” has already inspired audiences, for which Stewart is grateful.

“So many girls have told me – young women – that watching it gave them a strength they didn’t know they had,” Stewart said. “And that’s what I like most about the documentary. It really shows a strong woman standing up for herself and going through both horror and great success.”

Cutler told the NYT that “Martha” is “a movie, not a Wikipedia page.”

“It’s the story of an incredibly interesting human being who is complicated, visionary and brilliant,” Cutler said. “I’m really proud of this film and I admire Martha’s courage in commissioning me to make it. I’m not surprised it’s hard for her to see aspects of it.

Academy Award-nominated and Emmy- and Peabody Award-winning director Cutler previously directed the definitive Anna Wintour and Vogue documentary “The September Issue,” plus “Billie Eilish: The World’s a Little Blurry” and “Elton John: Never Too Late’.

Cutler recently told IndieWire’s Anne Thompson that Stewart prefers to be in control.

“Martha is Martha. One of the keys to Martha’s success is that when she is in control, she triumphs. And one of the storylines in this movie is that when Martha lost control, she went to prison,” Cutler said. “She lost control of her business, and this was a great loss, not just for Martha, and not just in terms of her business and her finances, but also of the thing she created that meant the most to her: her thoughts , her ideas. We lost so much when Martha went to prison because of it. She has had a great comeback.”

Cutler continued, “It took a lot of courage for Martha to let me tell her story. And it’s not easy; it becomes part of the dynamic of the film. Martha is someone who always looks ahead and hates therapy. I can’t tell you how many times she said, “I’ve never been to therapy in my life, and now RJ Cutler is going to put me in therapy.” But she went there. Boy, did she go there, and places she didn’t want to go. She gave me the goods.”
