What Happened, Brittany Murphy?

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.

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 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.

This Documentary had a slow start and agree with the other Comments about the use of the Youtube Commenters. The Crocodile Tears from D-List Hollywood Types and Hangers On didn't help either. But keep watching.

Although slightly longer than necessary, it proved to be a relatively through and balanced investigation of Brittany's last days and Death. The Police Investigators and Coroner were very professional and believable to all but the most extreme Tin Foil Hat Wearers.

It seems likely Brittany's poor degenerate Husband was the primary contributing factor in her Death, and it was very disappointing that his Mother does not seem to be able to acknowledge her son's lifetime of wrong doing even after his Death.

It is sad Brittany Died. She paid a very high price for what turned out to be a very short lived Fame.

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.
