Carr’s account is strongest in shining light on the early years of the conservatorship while elegantly steering away from the exploitative images of Britney—shaving her head, or getting strapped to a gurney—that sold magazines in the late ’00s. Read full review

Erin Lee Carr’s Britney Vs. Spears feels like a movie not searching for scandal but a genuine desire to help, to say something to Spears, to remind us why we love her and how we failed her. Read full review

Britney Vs Spears adds just enough to the story to be worth the obsessed-viewer’s trouble. Read full review

The film is not only repetitive but also profoundly uninspired documentary filmmaking. Read full review

Daniel D'Addario

Sep 28, 2021

This shapeless doc feels overlong at just over 90 minutes, because it’s unclear what, exactly, Carr and collaborator Jenny Eliscu want to say about Spears. Read full review

The Independent Adam White

It’s irresponsible, boring and a waste of everyone’s time. Read full review

Britney vs. Spears confidently challenges and questions the now infamous conservatorship of the world's biggest pop star, as well as Britney's journey fighting to escape from it for more than thirteen years. It is unapologetic about its approach, which has already caused an influx of controversy due to its focus on those involved and their part in the conservatorship. Whether you're a fan or not, this documentary serves as more than just a Free Britney advocate film, but also achieves to deliver some insight, knowledge and facts on the California state laws and conservatorships.… Expand

The critics wanted a movie about Britney's entire career? It was not necessary when she clearly demonstrated to the world everything that she had to go through and suffer because of her father, 10/10 for the production And tests

This is such a important documentary, finally shedding light on the damage being done to a pop culture icon. By the people who are holding her hostage in this corrupt conservatorship. It shows years of her trying to reach out and escape the clutches of these leaches.

The directors gave detailed evidence of these events and pin point the moments of despair for Ms Spears. May this documentary help to free the star from the people that only want to use her as a cash cow for their own gain.… Expand

Of course the audience score is double the critic score. The brainless masses are nothing more than celebrity worshipping cucks. So basically, typical muricans doing typical muricans things. Treating celebrities likes gods while their own peasant world falls apart around them.
