“What does it mean to be the first female self-made billionaire in American history,” asks Martha Stewart in her new documentary, directed by R.J. Cutler. Stewart has maintained cultural relevance since the 1990s, when she became known as the epitome of the perfect woman and the go-to expert on domestic work and cooking. Stewart’s reputation took turn in 2004, when she was convicted of obstruction and lying about a stock trade. “Those prosecutors should’ve been put in a Cuisinart and turned on high,” she says today. After serving five months in jail, she emerged with a rebellious spirit, embracing her ambition over the sweetness and docility that once defined her image. Her comeback included a friendship with the rapper Snoop Dogg, with whom she co-hosted the cooking show Martha and Snoop’s Potluck Dinner Party, and a selfie-filled Instagram that won over Gen Z. Now, in Martha, Stewart tells her story from her start as a teenage model in a middle-class family, to her short-lived Wall Street career, her rise to fame as the ultimate hostess, her rapid fall, and her equally rapid comeback. —Jeanne Malle
