    The document gave an insight view of Britney’s case. How she has been trapped under her father’s control financially and personally. We let Britney down and we all owed her an apology. Britney has been under the conservatorship for 13 years and this document finally brings the case to light along with the #FreeBritney movement. This has never been a conspiracy theory. It is real.

    This documentary is was a very vivid portrayal of what has been happening in the life of Britney Spears.I hope this will be the start of a greater conversation on conservatorship laws and a change in the ridiculous laws.

    Extremamente satisfeito com o documentário nada é perfeito, mas não tinha como ter nada melhor do que isso no momento, deu credibilidade DEMAIS pro movimento e pra visão da Britney como uma mulher na América todo o sexismo, abuso e assédio que ela sofreu desde pequena.
    Que essa tutela acabe e ela possa ser feliz e livre logo

    I love it! I think conservatorship topic is told in a very respectful way. I doesn't show too images from 2007 (which would be hurtful and unnecessary) and it provides a lot of information.

    For those who have followed concerns over Britney’s wellbeing for a while, Framing Britney Spears offered little by way of new information. But to have the full story detailed in chronological order with the respect and scrutiny it deserves was heartening.

    Framing Britney Spears expertly underlines the cruelty of celebrity culture and asks serious questions about the way young women are treated as fair game by interviewers and those hoping to make a fast buck from a photo in a car park. But as to Spears’ competence with regard to running her affairs, or the reality of her life under the conservatorship, it can offer no hard evidence, and its positioning of Spears’ fans as her saviours would seem yet another example of her narrative being hijacked by strangers – well intentioned though they are.

    It’s still rubbernecking, however seriously it takes the subject and however elegantly it sets out the timeline in that NYT typeface. But with Britney thanking her fans for their support and her lawyer declaring that “the whole world is watching”, at least now the attention is a help rather than a hindrance as she tries to reclaim control of her life.
