The thrill of the documentary is in hearing the voices of key players in Holiday's story and their competing versions of events.

"Billie" isn't just about the stories we tell about great artists. It's also about why we tell them - and whether we can ever really get them right.

Erskine's Billie is an honest memorial to the rich talent, and the arresting traumas that made the voice of a generation.
December 4, 2020 | Rating: 3.5/4 | Full Review… -
A unique remembrance of a remarkable but ill-fated chanteuse who sang the truth.

If "Billie" gives short shrift to its subject's artistry while underscoring her life's squalor, it still offers pockets of valuable insight.

Despite some dubious editing (including the colorization of images), Erskine aptly anchors the movie in Holiday's art, with well-chosen clips of her startlingly intense performances.
