    Documentary adds no new information

    After watching both Parts 1 and 2 (roughly a total of 2 hours), I know about as much as I did before Part 1 began. Other than a lot of speculation, some by people close to Ms. Murphy, no definitive conclusions are reached.

    The documentary paints a portrait of a young actress manipulated by a domineering spouse - sad, but not a new story (see anything written about Dorothy Stratton, for example). After the end of Part 2, we are left with the same nagging questions - why did Ms. Murphy and her husband die (separately) of nearly identical causes at relatively young ages?

    And the documentary contains a lot of "filler content" to stretch it to nearly 2 hours. For example, clips of online video commenters - YouTubers and online "conspiracy theorists/makeup influencers" - offers no credible insight and are nothing more than rampant speculation. These folks may be legitimate and fervent fans, but they are not experts in any known field pertaining to a murder investigation. The inclusion of those video clips was completely unnecessary.

    While I did learn a little more about Ms. Murphy's childhood and personal life, the documentary never answered it's own question. "What Happened, Brittany Murphy?" Answer: the documentary director doesn't know.

    Really?

    I wasn't aware that the National Enquirer was into filmmaking. The gossipy information and opinions of the various vloggers was so enlightening, not to mention their helpful makeup tips.

    Brittany Murphy deserves better.

    Tons of speculation

    What's with the clowns doing make up tutorials and commenting on this? That immediate lowers any credibility this "documentary" has. Stop putting random social media contributors in your films.

    Who the hell are these bloggers?!!!

    I can't understand why these make up bloggers are here??? I liked this for what little details I provided, however, you can totally tell the writers already had their minds made up. The fact that this will never be proven just makes this that much more BS. I enjoyed the reflection on her career and how she was as a person. I can't agree with the narrative they're going for.

    didn't need to add the "social media influencer" bottom feeders

    I didn't know much about Brittany Murphy other than remembering that when she died I thought it was incredibly tragic because she seemed like a legitimately sweet person, a good actor, and way too young. One thing that bothered me was that they twice showed texts of list of drugs and I'm not sure if they were ACTUALLY from an autopsy report or just random lists of drugs shown for sensationalism because they really ignored the possible overdose that would be all but guaranteed if they were found in her system. And the fact that they spent so much time airing random social media conspiracy "influencers" talking while doing makeup tutorials really makes me wonder how accurate the documentary is. It definitely made it feel trashy. Maybe if people were more responsible about what they baselessly say, people like Murphy wouldn't be driven to things like eating disorders, drugs, and desperation. Her last few years were quite a tragedy.
