Natalia Barr

The World’s a Little Blurry is an honest depiction of what it’s like to be a teenage girl. What makes that successful portrayal even more moving is that this particular teenage girl’s life is so untypical to begin with. Although the film runs long, it’s hard to point out any scene that could be cut, because every moment adds to the collage that is Billie Eilish’s world. Read full review

Richard Roeper

Even though Eilish has been a ubiquitous presence on the pop culture landscape for the last few years, this movie serves as an intimate and revealing filmed document. Read full review

IndieWire David Ehrlich

The emotional rawness of that super-real encounter is typical of what viewers will find scattered across Cutler’s film, an 135-minute opus — complete with intermission! — that indulges Eilish fans without alienating casual passersby. Read full review

Mikael Wood

The portrait is of an imaginative, ultra-talented teenager whose poise onstage belies the ordinary insecurities in her head. Read full review

Polygon Joshua Rivera

In spite of its roughly chronological timeline, The World’s A Little Blurry is formless, less a slickly crafted come-up story and more a long compilation of vignettes, many of which don’t linger long enough. It’s like scrolling through someone’s smartphone to get a sense of what their year was like: some of the discoveries are amazing, and the rest leaves questions behind. Read full review

The Playlist Ally Johnson

Feb 28, 2021

Whether you’re a fan of her music or not — and for as many die-hard fans as there are, there’s plenty of dissenters — it’s fascinating to watch a singer come into her own, establishing her still-forming identity in a rapidly shifting industry. Hopefully, Cutler will stick around, watch the development and, see what more can emerge in the future. Read full review

The Telegraph Robbie Collin

Here and elsewhere, you sense the film knows more than it’s prepared to share, which gives it the queasy sheen of a PR exercise. Read full review

It truly gives the fans (and why not say it? The world) something to understand her life and music creative ideas, while giving an open book for the world to see and understand her, in the ways she didn't wanted to say to people why, how or personal details about her life. Truly, a must see.… Expand

O documentário nos apresenta uma perspectiva extremamente íntima da vida de Billie Eilish, até então desconhecida. O filme tem um ritmo excelente e os acontecimentos são bem selecionados.

Absolute perfection! I was overwhelmed, man, what evolution and overcoming she had, what PRIVILEGE to grow up in the last three years being a fan of Billie Eilish and seeing her growing up in that period of time too, in every aspect, mainly as the great artist she is and will always remain!

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The movie itself is a big 2 hour long Apple advertisement... Throught out the whole documentary it's emphasized how well Apple products can be use to create music. So if the goal was to be a product placement movie, well done Apple.

When it focus on Billie Ellish as an artist, it all seems very clichê and forced to emulate an emo+rockstar's attitude, she's got some talent, but is very well produced and directed by her brother, she doesn't live up to the hype.… Expand
