Framing Britney Spears (2021)

Genre: Documentary
Directed by: Samantha Stark
Cast: Britney Spears, Dave Holmes, Wesley Morris
Running Time: 74 minutes

 


This New York Times documentary looks at the situation of pop star Britney Spears, who was legally put under a conservatorship managed by her father in 2008 following a very publicized breakdown. Now over 12 years later, Spears is trying to get the courts to remove her father from the conservatorship and the singer’s fans are clamoring for the same thing to happen.

This is an interesting film, though it is quite short and incomplete. It gives a general idea of the situation, but none of the people closely involved in the situation were involved enough in the film to give any pertinent information. Still, the movie brought more attention to the case and got a lot of people to apologize publicly for their treatment of Britney Spears over the years. If that was part of the goal, well that was accomplished.
