IMDb plot summary: Presents an in-depth, intimate character portrait exploring the life and career and mysterious circumstances surrounding the tragic death of 90's actress and rising star, Brittany Murphy.
Directed by Cynthia Hill.
What Happened, Brittany Murphy? is a documentary looking at the mysterious and unexpected and sudden death of actress Brittany Murphy back in 2009. Questions surrounded her death, as it seemed to come out of nowhere. It was attributed to anemia and pneumonia, but things just got weirder from there. For example, her husband died shortly after -- of the exact same thing. The documentary looks all different kinds of fan theories, including poisoning and mold and deliberate medical neglect, but, just like the real world, it's unable to fully draw a conclusion. What it does do is make me interested in going back and watching the filmography of Brittany Murphy. I've seen very little of her work, but the documentary really paints her as somebody who had a lot to give and was taken from us too early. Since this wasn't ever going to be able to solve the mystery the way a true-crime documentary wants to, it's nice that they at least gave me an interest in the subject that I didn't have before. So kudos to them on that.
