What Happened, Brittany Murphy?

Using random vloggers as a means to propel the narrative offsets any credibility this mediocre film gains from its few substantive interviews. Mostly, it's just two hours of people offering unqualified opinions. It'd be easier and quicker to learn about this case via a web search. Even as a true crime fan I thought this one was a waste of time.

On the plus side there was some good photography, and the music was quite good. I was never a fan but I came away liking her a bit more after seeing this. Sadly, we hear more from airheads applying their makeup whilst vlogging than we hear about Brittany herself. A wasted effort, and and not worthy of your time unless you're a rabid fan seeking confirmation that Monjack was a bad guy.

5 stars, with two removed for the use of the vloggers.

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.

I found parts of this to be pretty interesting and a long overdue salute to one of the most charming and underrated modern actresses but I HAVE to dock it points for the absolutely HORRENDOUS "commentary" by you tube makeup tutorial "influencers" they did NOT know Brittney or anyone associated with her. Kindly stick to people who know what they are talking about if you want your film to be taken seriously please! So tired of social media as a source of anything!! Besides I thought it was determined that she died from mold spores that had a toxic reaction in her lungs to a body already weakened by prescription drugs and excessive dieting. The addition of the mom and brother of the husband show what a con artist her husband was for sure though.

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.

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.
