It needed tighter editing and tried to be "overly artsy" at times, but Audrey Hepburn was still a fascinating individual

Erratic Yet Fascinating
Missed opportunities and unnecessary reenactments
I love Audrey and I wanted to love this movie. Although there are moments that shine and much lovely footage of Audrey, this documentary fell flat in many aspects.
Worst of all were the absolutely cheesy and unnecessary "reenactments" featuring modern day ballerinas dancing - and an awful father daughter reenactment, yikes. Took this from what could've been a beautiful tribute for a timeless star to a made-for-tv c-list movie. How disappointing.
The music choices could've been better and many great films were glossed over or missed.
The one area that was featured well in this documentary is fashion, I enjoyed both the commentary and the looks showcased, I just wish the other elements of Audrey's very rich life were given the same treatment.
Please cut the ballet scenes
Of course when Audrey Hepburn is shown, she's mesmerizing. But those dance sequences with other actresses are pointless. Overall it's well done but does not stand out from any other documentaries I've seen about this iconic woman.
