-
Information is presented in a cogent, journalistic fashion that is more interested in uncovering what Britney Spears has been facing away from the shiny filters of her Instagram feed rather than exploiting her.
-
The revelations in this concise, illuminating, polished but stylistically spartan feature are indeed damning.
-
Controlling Britney Spears is equal parts shocking and infuriating, a necessary examination of the reality of the pop icon’s conservatorship and why so many have been calling for her freedom for so long.
-
The surveillance allegations are substantial and the film itself is simply more cohesive and better organized [than Netflix's "Britney vs Spears"].
-
Much of “Controlling Britney Spears” feels like leftover story angles that there weren’t time for in “Framing Britney Spears.” Clocking in at a little over an hour, “Controlling Britney Spears” lacks the urgency of its predecessor.
