This documentary looks at Britney Spears life through the frame of her father's control over her through a conservativeship as well as through the media's obsessive coverage. It gives an overview of what happens and suggests that Spears is probably competent to handle her own affairs.
Some user reviews call this exploitative, but I don't know what they want. If you make a documentary about how Britney wound up without control over her own life you kind of have to show that story, which includes some extraordinary moments. They do put those moments in context, and I don't know what that's not enough. The documentary does a good job of showing how Spears had to deal with a lifetime of obnoxiousness and intrusiveness from the press, most of which comes off poorly.
One thing the documentary doesn't explore, but that is weird, is the nature of fandom, where people will devote a huge chunk of their life to trying to help a rich famous person. I'm not saying Spears doesn't need help, but I'm pretty sure there are people worse off who need an obsessed band of do-gooders raising awareness more than she does. But then, I don't get the worship of Spears specifically nor the worship of celebrity in general.
