Netflix's film about Britney Spears includes Adnan Ghalib recounting when Jamie Spears became conservator, Sam Lutfi denying he drugged the singer, and more.
has debuted on the streamer, it can be said that the 90-minute doc delivers on all of the above. Carr and Eliscu pore over petitions, letters and medical information, detail text messages allegedly sent by the singer, and interview the likes of onetime Britney confidantes Sam Lutfi, Adnan Ghalib and Felicia Culotta.
Eliscu said she spotted Britney lounging by the pool and met her in a nearby bathroom where she passed her the petition, had her sign it and exchanged pleasantries. “She looked at me and said, ‘Thank you,’ and I said, ‘I’ll see you again,'” Eliscu recalls, breaking down in tears on camera. “She definitely seemed scared. It was hard to tell because I was so scared but she was so appreciative.”
“Sam is the person frequently blamed by both of her parents for her public downfall,” is how Carr characterizes the controversial figure. Though court records indicated that Britney considered him a friend and semi-assistant, Lutfi says he acted as her manager. “We met at a bar,” Lutfi recalls. “Started talking. She was very funny. She had asked me if I’d seen things that were recently in the press. She asked for my phone number and she called. She tells me, ‘I need your help.
“That is something that I don’t think has really been portrayed correctly is the level of crisis at the moment the conservatorship began. They felt they had to do it to protect Britney from Sam,” says the writer. “He was crushing drugs and putting them in her food and bragging about it.”
