Outside of the music, the film gets into some of Billie's personal struggles, including how chronic leg pain has affected her ability to perform. The footage of them writing and recording in their bedroom gives you a great look at the genuinely organic way that Billie's music comes together, and the live footage is terrific, too. Billie is portrayed as a Kurt Cobain-like figure, uncomfortable with fame and uninterested in her record label's request for a radio-friendly hit, while her brother/collaborator Finneas seems to be a little more accepting of the "industry" side of things - they balance each other out well. Cutler-directed Billie Eilish: The World's a Little Blurry gives you a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at her rise, from Billie's Soundcloud days to sweeping the Grammys and performing at massive venues. It feels like a truly monumental moment in music history, and this year's R.J. There will also be fireworks displays at various locations outside of Bridgetown as well.Billie Eilish: The World's a Little Blurry ( Apple TV)īillie Eilish has had one of the most meteoric rises of any pop singer in recent memory, and it's been even longer since an artist blew up like this and can accurately be called "alternative," as Billie can.
