I've wanted to know more about what happened to Brittany Murphy for years. How did she go from top actress to dead so quickly..? So when I saw this documentary was coming I was well interested. The story, however, is not as complex or outlandish as you may think. I think that's the thing the film makers were trying to get across. This is an everyday story of girl meets boy, boy turns out to be a lying manipulative scum bag, the end. Or it is in normal life. In Hollywood you add prescription drugs and it's a recipe for disaster. It was shocking to learn some more about her husband. What a complete tool. But there are loads of them out there... I'm come across a few in my life so far so I feel like this doco works well as a cautionary tale. Also... her mother was totally taken advantage of too; so I don't feel like any blame can fall there. Terrible story and a perfect storm.
