Britney Vs Spears

While the content in the documentary is neatly compiled and put together, there's very little stuff in it that's ground-breaking. This is Netflix's ready-to-consume version of the New York Times documentaries on Britney's paparazzi-filled life. The first 20 minutes or so, including an interview with K-Fed's lawyer, doesn't excite all that much. The documentary rushes into high gear once the conservatorship aspect is brought up, and from there on, it's quite engaging. Most of the interviews featured in the documentary are in favor of Britney as a person - so, it wouldn't make sense to call it objective. Heck, it's almost a fan perspective, reinstating what the media and the public already know about Britney simply wanting to live life her way. Since the hearing that decides whether or not to conclude the conservatorship is due shortly, this honestly feels like Netflix trying to milk whatever they can from the situation. That's not a complaint, however. But let's #FreeBritney and hear what she has to say before it's too late!

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.

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.

No real updated facts relating to her conservatorship until the ending. I question whether or not her dad had her best interests at heart. Her family and Kevin Federline lived pretty well off the money she made. If she can prove that she is mentally capable of handling her own affairs, then the conservatorship should end once and for all. Nobody should have to live like she did.
