Billie Eilish: The World's a Little Blurry offers an enlightening -- and sometimes uncomfortable -- look behind the scenes of a young star's ascension.

The World’s a Little Blurry hews close to the Eilish mythology, yet still offers a rare glimpse behind the making of a teen pop star.

2/5

RJ Cutler's film runs for two hours and 20 minutes, plus a discretionary intermission, and nothing in it suggests it should have been over half that length.

She's very talented, as is her brother, musically. Lovely, lovely voice.

Billie Eilish: The World Is a Little Blurry is a candid visual diary of Eilish from the ages of 16 to 18, just as her pop music career began soaring to a mega-star level. This 140-minute documentary is a little too long, but it's still fairly impressive.

4/5

R.J. Cutler's documentary is an honest and frank documentation of a sensational young woman and her ability to withstand all the clutter to produce and connect to a generation of people through her voice.

None of this proves either immediately satisfying or cinematically impressive enough to justify the film's extended 140-minute runtime.

This was a very well directed and genuine documentary about an rising music icon and multi Grammy award winning artist. She is very genuine and real in every way despite knowing the cameras are on her at all times. Bonus all throughout is you get to hear her sing so many of her songs in different environments, at home with her brother Finneas and family & abroad. Film and concert in one piece - outstanding!

Billie + Finneas are absolutely brilliant, and this BTS view of their creative process is absolutely spectacular. aside from their undeniable talent, their parents are amazing + their whole family dynamic is a primary factor behind her singular success.

This film is so well done, shows that Billie has so much talent, and is unapologetically HERSELF. 100% real.

It is exactly what you think a movie about a concert would be. If you like Billie, then you will like. If you don't like her, not sure why you would go see.
