Featured reviews
This is a documentary made beyond the dictatorial control of Jaime Spears' grimy paws.
It is fundamentally not a documentary about Britney, but about the issues that led up to the conservatorship and behind the scene manoeuvrings and her failed attempts to free herself.
Understandably we do not hear from any of her family members nor anyone from the conservators camp except for snippets from old edits. Who we hear from in direct interviews are mainly the pro-Britney side, and a few non-commital individuals linked to her situation. While this is understandable, it also renders the documentary partial and not a proper tell-all.
Substantial portions of court related documents are also shown or read out verbatim which is revealing, incredulous and lends credibility.
I'm no particular fan of Britney nor her music, but what obviously comes across is a troubled woman both strong and also vulnerable, desperate and trapped yet untiring in her attempts and resourcefulness to gain herself a meaningful life.
It does give me new respect for Britney. Go girl!

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.
This film is an indictment of the US Court system and many people deserve to be jailed in regards to the information shown here, including Judges.
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!

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.

- TriviaFilmmaker Erin Lee Carr spent 2½ years developing this project. She had to reshape it after the release of Framing Britney Spears (2021) in early 2021, taking on the responsibility of the conservatorship as Britney speaks out - focusing less on how she was culturally treated but more the consequences of it.
