Something about celebrity documentaries is incredibly enthralling. Maybe it’s the intimate nature of behind-the-scenes footage, or perhaps it’s the narratives that force you to recognize how relatable celebrities can be. Regardless, I’m always here for a Hollywood documentary, and we’ve already seen some truly captivating ones come out in 2021. Biggie: I Got a Story to Tell, Kid 90, and Demi Lovato: Dancing With the Devil are all great recent examples of documentaries that shed new light on celebrities we thought we knew — and these are just the tip of the iceberg. Thanks to Netflix and other streaming sites, there’s no shortage of celebrity docs available to stream right now. Take a look at some of the most insightful ones ahead.
