Audrey

It needed tighter editing and tried to be "overly artsy" at times, but Audrey Hepburn was still a fascinating individual

A near perfect documentary of this much beloved movie icon, my only real complaint would be the over use of a not so look alike ballerina that keeps popping up and swirling around, that aside, it's a pretty comprehensive over view of a life, although relatively short lived, packed with a lot of highs and lows, a seemingly fragile in appearance, yet surprisingly strong woman. Haunted by the desertion of a Father she loved, plus many insecurities, she somehow overcame them and in the end gave back selflessly to the World that had given her so much. May her Star continue to shine brightly

"Audrey," The new documentary on Netflix, begins with a reenactment of a ballerina that the makers took pains in hoping we the viewer would be fooled into thinking it was Audrey Hepburn. Talk about starting on the wrong foot. The documentary plods through her early life. Yikes her family were Nazi sympathizers! She of course was not and even ran resistance in WW2. It takes a long time to get to Hollywood with little time on her best films, "Roman Holiday" and "Sabrina." Too much time on the iconic "Tiffany's" which is all splash and no mention of later work, i.e. "Robin & Marian."

It is wonderful seeing her at various public events dressed so beautifully. She was a living breathing work of art. So many of us loved her so much. To hear of her unhappy marriages was painful but I am not suggesting the pain should have been left out.

The documentary needed serious editing, less filler and those horrible re-enactments left on the cutting room floor. One hour of the best would perhaps have saved this documentary from being a mess.

Audrey's UNICEF work remarkable. She was a truly remarkable person but a little of that aspect goes a long way.

Loved this documentary of my all time favorite actress. Heard some already well known facts about her life and learned some new things about her which was nice. Documentary covers her Hollywood life as well as her personal life.

She could wear a potato sack and still look absolutely stunning. My heart breaks that she never really loved herself like a lot of the world did and still does. Happy that she at least ended up with a gentleman, Robert Wolders, that made her feel loved. Also that she became the face for UNICEF which meant more to her than being movie star. Would always love to see more about her but this movie did a decent job of it.

Many omissions make this biography extremely unsatisfying. One of her sons is completely absent from this life story. Her possible anorexia, or at least highly problematic relationship with food as a result of starvation during WWII, is essentially ignored. I found the dance sequences during which she was portrayed at different ages by various ballerinas superfluous and irritating. All in all, this film feels very insubstantial and inadequate to represent such revered and admired icon.
