Critics Consensus

Billie Eilish: The World's a Little Blurry offers an enlightening -- and sometimes uncomfortable -- look behind the scenes of a young star's ascension.

Alessa Dominguez

BuzzFeed News

The World’s a Little Blurry hews close to the Eilish mythology, yet still offers a rare glimpse behind the making of a teen pop star.

Daily Telegraph (UK)

RJ Cutler's film runs for two hours and 20 minutes, plus a discretionary intermission, and nothing in it suggests it should have been over half that length.

Rated: 2/5

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

R.J. Cutler's documentary is an honest and frank documentation of a sensational young woman and her ability to withstand all the clutter to produce and connect to a generation of people through her voice.

None of this proves either immediately satisfying or cinematically impressive enough to justify the film's extended 140-minute runtime.

One Room With A View

With a risky runtime of 140 minutes, the film never feels overlong, as it strikes a skilled balance between a fulfilling fan service and a verité epitome of the contemporary music industry as experienced by its prodigy in the spotlight.

Rated: 4/5

This was a very well directed and genuine documentary about an rising music icon and multi Grammy award winning artist. She is very genuine and real in every way despite knowing the cameras are on her at all times. Bonus all throughout is you get to hear her sing so many of her songs in different environments, at home with her brother Finneas and family & abroad. Film and concert in one piece - outstanding!

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

As a Billie Eilish fan myself, this documentary gives an insight into just how quickly she rose to fame. It's a great way to see how being young in this sort of industry looks behind the scenes. It follows her relationships, changes in style, home life, and how her and her brother Finneas made her debut and chart topping album "when we all fall asleep where do we go?". I show this to everyone who is willing to watch, and at the end, they always tell me how emotional it made them, as they haven't left out any details about her mental health and how fame really is. Defo a must-watch for Billie fans and anyone who is friends or knows one.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
