Martha is a 2024 American documentary film which explores the life of Martha Stewart. It is produced and directed by R. J. Cutler. The film debuted on Netflix on October 30, 2024.[1][2]
Reception
[edit]On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 95% of 21 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 7.1/10.[3] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned the film a score of 69 out of 100, based on 7 critics, indicating "generally favorable" reviews.[4]
Owen Gleiberman of Variety wrote, "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. The film hails her as 'the first influencer,' and that feels right if you add that the world of 'influencing' is essentially a sponsor-driven grand illusion. It certainly was for Stewart, who created and marketed the idea of a high-powered homemaker for women who no longer wanted to be homemakers."[5]
