‘Britney vs Spears’ Is an Unnecessary, Insensitive Addition to the Roster
For a documentary presented to be in the best interest of its subject, it sure lacks sensitivity and nuance. It takes the long road to reach the details and investigation of the conservatorship, spending a lot of time on her formative years, her glorious rise to fame, her relationships, marriage, and divorce. We see an unflattering overload of paparazzi footage taking us through her failed relationships, breakdowns, losing child custody and eventually any control over her life. Spears has recurrently expressed that she is uncomfortable and embarrassed by her portrayal in these documentaries, also calling one of the many hypocritical. Director Carr collaborates with journalist Jenny Eliscu, who had previously profiled Spears for Rolling Stone, to provide a dramatised probe.
