Martha Stewarthasa lot to sayabout the new Netflix documentary about her, and not all of it is positive.
But in a new interview,Marthadirector R.J. Cutler said he wasn’t too surprised by her objections.
“It wasn’t surprising to me that she would’ve made a different film that I made.

But this is the process.
It takes a tremendous amount of courage on her part to trust me, I respect that.
In return, I share the film with her and have conversations with her about the film.
She would’ve preferred to hear hip-hop music, like the kind made by herlongtime friendSnoop Dogg.
I said to R.J., An essential part of the film is that you play rap music.
Dr. Dre will probably score it, or Snoop or Fredwreck,” Stewart told theTimes.
“I said, I want that music.
And then he gets some lousy classical score in there, which has nothing to do with me.

That doesn’t mean it has to be responded to with changes to the film, Cutler said.
“Martha felt the whole thing should be scored differently, but the score is extraordinary.”
Since theTimesinterview, Stewart seems to have softened a bit on her public opinion of the documentary.
She also said she hated digging deep on herself, even if it got good results.
“I didn’t like it.
“The director was so intense on delving, delving!”
“Yes, but that’s what we want to see!”
“Yeah, so good stuff came out,” Stewart said.
“He got some juice.”
Stewart also appeared onThe Drew Barrymore Showon Tuesday.
“They watched my documentary,” Stewart said.
