If you’re coming to “ Billie Eilish: The World’s a
Little Blurry ” hoping for a primer on the music
sensation, you’ve come to the wrong place.
Filmmaker R.J. Cutler’s two hour and 20-minute
documentary about the “Ocean Eyes” singer
and songwriter is not biography or reportage.
It’s a verite-style plunge into her life, her home,
her concerts, her process, her Tourette’s, her
brother’s bedroom where they famously write
all their songs and even her diary in the year in
which she became a star.
It is raw and filled with music — over 20 of
her songs are played over the course of the
film, including live performances, like her
extraordinary Coachella showing in 2019. Some
are shown in full. It is also very, very long.
Cutler, who also did “The September Issue” and
“Belushi,” cited seminal verite rock docs “Gimme
Shelter” and “Dont Look Back” as inspiration.
