POSITIVES…
If you're a fan of Billie Eilish, you have all the reasons in the world to want to see this.
If you've never heard of musical artist Billie Eilish, this documentary does a fantastic job of showing you who she is, and her life as a teenage celebrity. Upsides and downsides and all.
There’s a good chunk dedicated to her concerts, and it’s entertaining to pretty much be like a fly in the wall to her experience touring. Fans singing along and shin splints and all.
This film covers a lot of the song making process, and there were multiple moments that were fascinating and interesting. Insightful and provocative ideas and all.
Gotta appreciate this personal look into her life, who she is as a person, her family, and most importantly her opinions. The whole family are all opinionated people, with thoughts, ideas, and emotions, that are absolutely worth exploring.
HUGE shout out to her brother Finneas O'Connell, and her parents Maggie Baird, Patrick O'Connell (and hello Pepper the dog!). They are a huge part of her life and her talent, and this film doesn’t shy away from that fact at all. "Our family is one big f***ing song."
That whole thing with Justin Bieber.
Coachella is a big segment in this documentary, and deservedly so.
There’s a line you’ll often hear from her fans, “I Love you Billie!,” and there’s a reason you hear that constantly.
Just a note to mention. This appropriately enough doesn't censor Billie much at all.
NEGATIVES…
Parents watching this with their young kids might balk at the lack of censorship.
It's a 140 minutes documentary! There’s even a break designated as an intermission! I hope it keeps your attention.
Actually, if it doesn't grab you in 20-30 minutes, you may as well stop watching.
Narrative-wise it’s arguably too straight forward in chronicling several years of her life, before it starts actually embracing a theme to the movie.
Felt undeniably indulgent in that it stays on scenes and songs far longer than it probably really has to.
