Reviews
There aren’t many reviews available currently, but the documentary got a 7.3 on IMDb. Critics seem to have loved the documentary with the Telegraph saying it “leaves you itching to read a meaty biography” and Leslie Felperin from The Hollywood Reporter saying that “Even if you watch it alone on a laptop with a bottle of cheap beer and a dried-up turkey sandwich, Audrey is a pleasure. That’s mostly due to the still-incandescent star power of its subject.”
Unfortunately, we have no other Audrey Hepburn titles to watch on Netflix. It briefly had Breakfast at Tiffany’s in the US but currently most of her movies are on Video On Demand platforms.
