Britney vs. Spears

Thanks Netflix! I hope with this, more ppl can see a bit of what happened and stand up to end this injustice. This is immoral to treat someone like this. #arrestjamiemovement ! Arrest that mo'"$#/ FKR. Enough is enough.

1. Not a flawless documentary, but one that is made with passion.

2. There's something terribly wrong with the courts in USA. I'm glad such laws don't exist in my country.

3. Britney shouldn't just be freed. Her dad and his accomplices ought to pay for enslaving her all these years. Freedom is priceless!

The documentary Britney vs. Spears is definitely in Britney's defense thus, perhaps, not equally objective. The viewer isn't at all sure what actual events may have led to such an extreme decade and a half conservatorship of Britney Spears. It is vaguely implied she was not competent mentally...though what exactly was the diagnosis and/or reasons for her situation?

What seems at root is her father was very worried about financial things over a caring and healthy relationship with his daughter. He basically made her his livlihood by indenturing her. When you can work your rear-end off in a very demanding job but you have to receive permission to go out for a hamburger I'd say it obvious something very insidiously wrong is going on here.

If I had to guess if she is released from her conservatorship she will thrive. It's questionable if she will ever have any further relationship with her father after hearing her tell a judge he should be jailed. So this is a sad story, yet it has the feel of a survivor's tale that may still be uplifting. For Britany to go through so much she seems much sturdier than the press has painted her. This is quite the interesting story which often stretches one's belief it has taken so long to potentially right.

In this documentary, despite the fact that there are no testimonies of who is being talked about, it manages to delve into how it happened.

It gives details that I did not know and had no idea, it informs us about the latest updates of the case and makes you want to follow the whole thing closely, and it does not do it as if it were gossip, it does so that people know certain points of reality that we can get to know. I feel that some testimonies are needed but because of the delicacy and because the case is very recent, it is understood.

Some explanations of several years are missing where there is no information, but it correctly exposes the whole case.

Much-needed documentary which gave us insights about Britney's problematic conservatorship. Though quite messy at times with too much informations from several perspectives, Erin Lee Carr made strong closure by Britney's wholehearted speech for freedom.
