Anna Nicole Smith: A Revealing Look at Her Life and Legacy

TL;DR Summary
The new Netflix documentary "Anna Nicole Smith: You Don't Know Me" attempts to show the real Smith through a combination of archival news clips, B-roll, and interviews with family members, tabloid journalists, and paparazzi. However, the interviews lack insight and the movie ultimately falls into the territory of lurid voyeurism, sensationalizing Smith's life and death. Despite well-meaning efforts, the documentary fails to provide a corrective to the popular image of the celebrity and does not do justice to Smith's legacy.
