Martha Stewart, a renowned American businesswoman, TV personality, and writer, has long been a household name. However, a significant portion of her life and career remained shrouded in mystery – until now. Netflix’s latest documentary, Martha, joins forces with Stewart to reveal the untold story of her remarkable journey.
The streaming platform has been home to several documentaries and docuseries across several genres, and Martha is yet another straightforward yet intriguing addition to the roster. In this review, we will explore elements of the documentary that particularly stood out, whether or not it deserves a spot on your Netflix watchlist.
Martha Stewart Takes us on a Journey!
The first five minutes of Martha are a gentle reminder of just how popular Martha Stewart is and has been for decades now. Today, influencers are quick to climb the ladder on social media, but if they need to learn the ABCs of being an actual influencer, there’s no better person to do so than Stewart herself. This documentary is light, breezy, and a treat for especially those who love the icon!

As a documentary, Martha checks plenty of boxes for us all, whether it is the interview of Stewart as she talks about the things she likes, and dislikes, her garden, her life, or the beautiful and scenic shots that keep us hooked to our screens.
This isn’t just a background documentary, you will find yourself engaged in every frame which is creatively crafted.
Stewart is a perfectionist, which was also seen in her work but is elaborated more on, while she also takes this opportunity to talk about her father and family. Perfectionism has been a part of her life since the very beginning and now reflects in everything she does, including her beautiful garden which we also catch a glimpse of in Martha.

The documentary also briefly talks about her relationship with Andrew Stewart, the highs and lows, and everything one would want to know about. Frankly, we’re a little surprised Martha wasn’t released sooner on any other platform because Stewart had a lot to tell about her life in this particular documentary, and while there aren’t multiple episodes, 1 hour and 50 minutes are more than enough!
While there always has been plenty to talk about Stewart, her time in prison sent shockwaves through the media, and is also talked about in the documentary, but we don’t recommend just skipping to that part.
Whether you love her or hate her, you will want to know more about her, and that’s just what Martha does, in a creative and constructive manner.

Conclusion
Hearing about Martha Stewart from Stewart herself wasn’t the most unique experience, because she’s had endless interviews before, but this documentary felt fresh nonetheless, and we knew we had to recommend it to anyone reading this review!
