Britney vs Spears (2021) - I watched this one hoping for a deeper piece than the Framing Britney doc from earlier this year. There's been a lot of comparison between this documentary and the latest New York Times one, Controlling Britney Spears as they were released within days of each other, but having only seen this one of the two I can't personally comment.
This documentary does dive a little deeper into the legal moves that were being made in regards to the conservatorship. A lot of information comes from previously unreleased court documents that were obtained from an anonymous source. Those legal moves are disheartening. The claim is made that Britney has dementia, but she is still able to work and when you add all that into her fear of losing visitation with her kids, the financial benefits and motivations for the conservatorship it's just an awful terrible mess to be in, but more importantly how is she ever supposed to be able to get out? Obviously at this point we know that her father has been removed as her conservator, but how terrible it even needed to get to this point. Off the top of my head I can name a handful of men who's behaviour, publicly has been, at the very least, as concerning as Britney Spears' was deemed to be and never once have we seen such maneuvers.
I watched this on Netflix.
