nypost.com:

documentary “Martha” hit the streaming platform on Oct. 30, Martha Stewart accused the director of using unflattering camera angles and leaving out massive parts of her life.

But Cutler isn’t bothered by the 83-year-old’s feedback. “It wasn’t surprising to me that she would’ve made a different film that I made, of course,” the 62-year-old said on the Wednesday episode of “The Town with Matthew Belloni” podcast. “She gave me her feedback, and she was upset that I didn’t make the changes that she wanted to make.

But this is the process.”Cutler continued, “It takes a tremendous amount of courage on her part to trust me. I respect that.

And in return, I share the film with her and have conversations with her about the film. If she has ideas that I think are good ideas and will help the film that I’m making, I’ll take a good idea from anybody.
