This is legitimately scary.
We destroyed a woman for no real reason. I have to admit that I naively bought into the "Britney is just crazy and horrible" media circus. I also have been guilty of saying that if someone is a celebrity they deserve what they get when it comes to media scrutiny. I was definitely wrong.
This is a well researched and sourced documentary that details the aggressive and gross destruction of someone who just wanted to sing and live a simple life. This is a film with a lot to say about gender, the judges of normality, and state power (no I'm not kidding). It pushed me to think about society's unhealthy relationship to celebrity.
Free Britney.
every couple of years something comes along that reignites my burning hatred of J*stin T*mberlake
Congratulations to Michael Moore for being the only sensible person on Earth apparently

We might think we remember how awful the 2000s were regarding paparazzi culture, the media and misogyny in general but then you watch something like this and the sheer ghoulishness hits you in the face like a brick. It’s truly shocking how Britney and other girls her age were treated during that time. The blunt hatred public figures had for her, telling a 20 year old girl they would like to shoot her over a fucking breakup, her team’s obsession with making her virginity front and center of her story while sexualising her as much as possible and the media eating it up, a shitty ex-boyfriend using her name for years to get attention…
As usual the true villain of this film is James Corden. Two and a half stars!
what makes me saddest and angriest is seeing britney spears talk about how much joy she gets from having control over her career and her image in the early 00s, considering how all of that was stripped away from her by the mid/late 00s media landscape and then later by her father's conservatorship. i'm eagerly awaiting the day when she gets to tell her own story.
if you’re a britney fan, watch this.
if you’re not a britney fan, watch this.
as a longtime fan, i thought this was very well done. FREE BRITNEY!!!
