Leave your thoughts about Billie Eilish: The World's a Little Blurry.
| Chicago Sun-TimesRichard RoeperEven though Eilish has been a ubiquitous presence on the pop culture landscape for the last few years, this movie serves as an intimate and revealing filmed document. |
| Austin ChronicleJenny NulfBillie Eilish: The World’s A Little Blurry is like an epic emo video diary entry. It’s sentimental, reflective, and is layered with great music (and great music shirts – shout out to Eilish’s father’s incredible Phoebe Bridgers tee collection.) |
| Consequence of SoundNatalia BarrThe World’s a Little Blurry is an honest depiction of what it’s like to be a teenage girl. What makes that successful portrayal even more moving is that this particular teenage girl’s life is so untypical to begin with. Although the film runs long, it’s hard to point out any scene that could be cut, because every moment adds to the collage that is Billie Eilish’s world. |
| IndieWireDavid EhrlichThe emotional rawness of that super-real encounter is typical of what viewers will find scattered across Cutler’s film, an 135-minute opus — complete with intermission! — that indulges Eilish fans without alienating casual passersby. |
| Entertainment WeeklyLeah GreenblattAs her success spikes exponentially, so does the film's momentum, shifting toward the more familiar touchstones of a traditional music doc: The smear of foreign cities seen through a town-car window; the endless roundelay of interviews, meet-and-greets, and promo signings. |
| The Irish TimesEd PowerAn absorbing peek behind the pop-star curtain from the veteran documentarian RJ Cutler, maker of The War Room and The September Issue. |
| Wall Street JournalLiana Van NostrandThe result is a raw look at not just celebrity, but also what it is to parent and grow up in the 21st century. |
| VarietyOwen GleibermanI’d call it a deftly sincere and canny portrait, one that works precisely because it takes the time to sweat the small stuff. |
| The GuardianAdrian HortonIts strongest element, aside from Eilish herself, is the generosity and empathy afforded to the experience of fandom. |
| TheWrapSteve PondIt’s not full of revelations about a young woman who has always been frank and open about her insecurities and mental health issues, but it feels honest and delivers some nuance in the way it celebrates and explores its subject. |
