Thom Yorke took his teenage kid to see a Billie Eilish concert in 2019, and the story goes that the Radiohead frontman was so impressed by the bedroom pop supernova that he went backstage after the show and told her that she was “the only one doing anything fucking interesting nowadays.” (There’s some very special video of Yorke seat-dancing to “You Should See Me in a Crown” with the same twitchy abandon he moves to his own songs.) It’s hard to know exactly what he meant by that earth-shaking endorsement — even Yorke’s compliments are as serrated and Sphinx-like as his lyrics — and harder still to imagine that the legion of young fans who live and breathe Eilish’s music…
There’s a moment where she refers to Orlando Bloom as “some dude Katy Perry met”. If you don’t appreciate her after that I don’t know what to tell you.
Well...wow! What a documentary! Billie Eilish: The World’s A Little Blurry is absolutely stunning. The documentary showcases her life and outstanding abilities perfectly, delving deep into her mind, creating one of the most grounded and intimate documents of a celebrity I’ve ever seen. Her bond with her family (especially Finneas O'Connell) is admirable and the way director R. J. Cutler pieces it all together, splicing monologues alongside her songs, truly allows for a transfixing watch for its entirety. The documentary as a whole feels so personal, so meaningful and is executed in such a brilliant way that I was left stunned. I honestly wasn’t prepared to like this as much as I did but it truly is a great documentary and dare I say it... one of the best I’ve ever seen.

The World’s A Little Blurry is absolutely INCREDIBLE. One of the most grounded, intimate, authentic, & honest portraits of a celebrity I’ve ever seen. No BS here. The library of footage and the heartfelt moments captured is unbelievable. It truly plays out like a Linklater coming of age film. Just beautiful! One of my favorites of the year!
“Our family was just one big fucking song.”
R.J. Cutler started filming the Billie Eilish documentary when she was 16 before her extreme success. The film starts out by showing early footage and introduces the audience to the fact that her song "Ocean Eyes" was put out on the internet when she was just 13. Her Instagram followers were tracked from the first million to 13.2 million, to when her dad says she has almost 16 million. As of the release of the documentary, she has 76.5 million followers on Instagram.
Her evolution is documented. She goes from being a twelve-year-old obsessed with Justin Bieber to an artist who is coming into her own. She also expressed the desire to…

It was the fall of 2019, and 17-year-old Billie Eilish was at one of the lowest moments of her very enchanted life so far. Six months earlier, the Soundcloud supernova had exploded into a major recording artist with the release of the double platinum debut album that she and her older brother Finneas had recorded together in his childhood bedroom. Six months later, that same LP would see her become the youngest artist to ever sweep the Grammys. But for a minute in the middle there, she was just another teenager who…
Not me almost crying when Billie meets Justin Bieber for the first time during the ORCHESTRAL PART OF BAD IDEA BY ARIANA GRANDE. What an emotional moment and so undeniably wholesome. I had a big and stupid smile on my face throughout this entire documentary. As someone who never found the appeal to Billie Eilish, this definitely opened my thoughts about her and I can now mostly appreciate her work and Bille as a person.
