A Heartbreaking Account of What Fame Can Do to an Individual

Reviewed in the United States on March 15, 2009

Verified Purchase

When 'Britney: For the Record' premiered in the winter of 2008, the world got answers to one of the most infamous breakdowns in entertainment history. Britney put herself out there and talked candidly about her tough years after her marriage broke-up, years that included shaving her head, stints in rehab, losing custody of her two sons, being drugged and taken advantage of by a manager who she thought had her best interest at heart and with two emergency trips to the psychiatric ward in the hospital, she finally got saved by her family who took the reigns and removed the bad influences from her life and helped her as she worked hard to rebuild the life that was torn apart.
This is no ordinary documentary, it's not a fluff piece and it's not 'pity me, I'm rich and famous and don't like it' piece either. It's simply Britney, up close and personal as she talks about what happened in the past and how she's looking forward to a brighter future. As she geared up for what would become the greatest comeback in history, Britney assures fans that while she isn't 100% recovered from her hell years, she is definitely on her way and in a much better place than she was.
This is a must have DVD for Britney fans and for entertainment fans in general. It's important to see that while being rich and famous seems like it's euphoria, it comes with it, a lot of pain, stress and constant scrutiny. It lets fans go past the tabloids and paparazzi and see the true Britney.

Heartbreaking, touching & introspective

Reviewed in the United States on April 20, 2009

She's Britney Spears, arguably the world's most famous female pop star. Her ups and downs have provided more fire for the tabloids than anyone in the past few years, and yet her success as a pop icon has remained solid since she hit the scene in 1998. But Britney, in the end, isn't just a product - she's a person. Deprived of her humanity and sanity by false accusations, intrusive acts by the public and lenses, as well as a simple lack of understanding (which she points out quite beautifully in a previously unreleased segment when she is allowed to drive her Mercedes in the country), the blonde bombshell comes off as a sad, sedated person in Britney: For the Record, her most intimate and in-depth documentary yet. To her critics who feel she hasn't answered enough about her behavior I say this: It's NONE of your business. Britney may be an uber-celebrity, but she deserves some privacy and the right to be able to keep some secrets from the prying public eye, which most of us never have to deal with. For the Record offers up a heartbreaking look into the life of one of the world's most famous persons, allowing the public to finally see the real person beneath the facades.

Britney - such a sweet lady

Reviewed in the United States on April 28, 2009

Verified Purchase

Britney had to have a lot of courage to let the cameras into her life in such an open forum. They asked the questions, she was honest and thoughtful. Whatever anyone says about this sweet American idol, she absolutely shows that despite the dubious decisions THAT WE CAN ALL MAKE she remains an amazing phenomenon. She doesnt try to justify mistakes she has made, and also doesnt really ask for forgiveness for them, she has taken everything the world has thrown at her whether justified or not, and is clearly coming out the other side wiser and stronger than ever.

It is fantastic to see the team around her supporting her and helping her, and you also get to see just how tough her life is - we all want the same life but not all of us understand that the perfect life also has massive challenges we could never hope to understand, and which would buckle the majority of us just as easily, if not more so, than Britney.

Thank you Britney for allowing us in like this, and best wishes for a successful future, both in music and personally

AMAZING

This is a MUST have!! It is a true interview and you get to see what being one of the most famous superstars is like. It's very sad but it also opens everyone perspective and makes them understand her at least just a bit better, which is why she made it. It is a wonderful DVD that I do not get tired of watching even though it still makes me cry to know how sad she is living her life regardless of all the money she has. You really get to see a different side of her. A side that she has to hide in order to keep people happy, and that's nice to see because it shows that she is just like us. As a bonus, it also includes some bonus remixes of the songs Circus and Womanizer which I love. It's a must buy :)

A *must* if you're interested in Britney.

Reviewed in the United States on March 8, 2009

I saw this live and am now pre-ording the DVD with added material. I found it compelling and somewhat sad. It shows the life of someone who seems to have it all, but every guy she's ever been with has sold her up the river. I was most moved knowing she may never find a decent guy. No decent guy would ever want to be involved in the Circus, Freak Show, or whatever one wants to call Britney's life. I do love her music and performances, and that's why I'll always be a fan.

If you love Britney Spears like I do prepare for your respect level to go way up for the Pop Princess!

Britney: For the Record is a stunningly candid view into what it's like to be the Legend herself. The film takes its viewers behind the scenes through the production processes of Britney's hot and glamorous Circus music video. I found the scene of Britney being able to drive her car without getting into trouble very touching.

Being a Britney fan for almost 10 years, I was devasted to see some of the stuff that she had been through in these last 2 years. I loved this documentary because it helped us understand just a little bit of what she was going through as a person. Not as "Britney Spears", but as Britney. I really hope that one day she can find that peace within herself and gain the strength back that she once had. For those of you who love Britney, you will love this documentary.
