New York Times
In the documentary, the pop star’s career is explored year by year, from the little girl singing in church and eventual cast member ofof the early 1990s, to the teen icon of the early aughts, to the seemingly vacant, astonishingly different person of today.
The documentary also provides a deep dive into Spears’s presence on Instagram, which, in the last few years, has provided more of an insight into what has been going on with Spears than a paparazzo’s video of a “gas station breakdown” ever could. Her behavior there has been characterized as erratic, or at least different from the self-assured, present person that we saw on stage and in interviews for many years up until recently.
