‘Britney Vs Spears’ film review: A toxic and troubling take on a controversial conservatorship
The Hindu
Reductive in its narrative, it is surprising that Erin Lee Carr’s attempt at a sobering documentary about Britney Spears and the conservatorship was given a green light at all
I woke up this morning to the fist-pumping news that Britney Spears’ father Jamie has been suspended as conservator. This was a couple of days after I had powered through the unwatchable Britney Vs Spears on Netflix – an experience that made my skin crawl.

I went into Britney Vs Spears with high hopes for a couple of reasons; the first being that Netflix does its fair share of good documentaries, and the second being the Britney Spears conservatorship deserves all the progressive press it has received. But I missed the major red flag before its release; the fact that Netflix debuted the trailer just a few days before its launch. I have seen a pattern – and feel free to disagree – of Netflix shunting last-minute trailers for projects the platform is not exactly proud to call its own.
