Critic Reviews for Billie Eilish: The World's a Little Blurry

All Critics (96) | Top Critics (31) | Fresh (94) | Rotten (2)

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

    Tim Cogshell

    FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)

  • It's a great L.A. story and a fascinating look at how one becomes a musical superstar in this world where things like Spotify and SoundCloud are perhaps more important than getting signed to a big record deal.

    Christy Lemire

    FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)

  • I first balked at its 2 1/2-hour running time, but Cutler's epic earns every second, showing us an artist who is frank, confident, vulnerable and anxiety-ridden by the need to be "perfect."

    March 4, 2021 | Rating: 3.5/4 | Full Review…

    Randy Myers

    San Jose Mercury News

  • There is a vast wealth of entertaining work in the form, but it's almost never free to speak its mind. That said, this overlong film by the experienced R. J. Cutler is haunting and engaging.

    March 4, 2021 | Rating: 3.5/5 | Full Review…

    Paul Byrnes

    Sydney Morning Herald

  • The inescapable online... hums away in the background of everything. Cutler and Eilish are smart enough to make it part of the point.

    Danny Leigh

    Financial Times

  • Even the more traditional documentary interviews feel like spontaneous conversation with a good friend. It's an effective style for capturing the unvoiced anxieties that hang around Ms. Eilish and her family -- particularly her parents.
