怪奇比莉：我眼中的迷濛世界
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…
Capturing a stark authenticity that feels true to Billie Eilish's personality, we are provided with an insightful look at the teenage intensity that has created such dark and personal music to which so many have been able to relate. It's interesting to note that she absolutely got to where she is because of privilege - born into an upper middle class family, with access to every kind of musical device and a recording studio readily available, this is far from a documentary about hard work and payoff - and yet she exhibits a certain rare honesty and open vulnerability that, to me, seems to arise from her entrenchment in the social media era. Even as she's performing on stage in…
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.
Bathed in neon colors and lights, framed with performances of her best-known hits and exciting behind-the-scenes looks, Billie Eilish's "The World's A Little Blurry" is one of the most honest and unvarnished documentaries about the life of a pop star. What is shown gives even non-fans a deeper insight into the phenomenon of her success and how a teenager copes with the rapid rise to fame. I was really surprised who much I liked this!
That was something else. She's so humble and vulnerable, protect her always. Also my love for Finneas is bigger now.
It follows the format of great documentaries such Asia Kapadia documentaries but with less success , although, Billie Eilish and her family highlights the experience in transmits an authentic vibe in the rollercoaster ride to fame with her first album and eventually winning all the Grammys and becoming worldwide famous.
one word: heartbreaking. seeing into her life truly did break my heart. seeing how many times she put on a fake smile just to please us literally broke me. but also seeing her evolution as a human really truly made me so proud. i am not ashamed to say that i am fully in love with her and everything she’s ever done. billie eilish supremacy.
I loved this doc. The behind the scenes of Billie & Finneas making the album was incredible. It’s amazing how hard they have worked and they deserve those Grammys!!
No suelo ver documentales de cantantes, pero me gusta la música de Billie Eilish y esto tiene buenas puntuaciones en Letterboxd. Así que decidí darle un vistazo. Valió la pena. Ofrece una perspectiva personal, sincera y completa sobre la carrera y vida de Eilish. Desde sus humildes inicios componiendo música en casa con su hermano, hasta su meteórico ascenso a la fama. Pero no es simplemente un resumen de su carrera porque nos muestra aspectos personales de ella como su ex-novio, su salud mental y la presión que siente antes y después de cada concierto. Lo que ha hecho a Billie Eilish tan exitosa es ese aura de novedad y diferencia que marca en la industria. Ella no es como…
This movie is great if you liked the album and want an inside look or it is a bunch of found iPhone footage of a random teenager if you are my dad
honestly the best documentary I have ever watched and Inusually don’t like documentaries. the style and how it was filmed just feels different than most I loved it.
Probably my first documentary review sjjsjsj.
I love when the author becomes intimate with the art, and as a Billie Eilish fan I stan for it. More of a lineal narrative, I can even say it’s more about emotions of every aspect of being famous when you are still a young person, even those aspects highlight the lyrics and songs themselves, now I can say I have a better context about it, instead of sometimes feels kinda cheesy or exaggerated.
Yes, it’s surreal to say this, but this may be my favorite biopic so far.
