Billie Eilish hasn’t been famous for very long, but when you see her in “Billie Eilish: The World’s a Little Blurry,” R.J. Cutler’s two-hour-and-20-minute but never boring documentary hang-out movie, you see why she’s already the quintessential pop star of the 21st century.

Singer-songwriter Billie Eilish and her family are followed over the course of several years for this Apple TV+ documentary, written and directed by R.J. Cutler ( The September Issue ).
There s an interesting moment in the documentary
Billie Eilish: The World s a Little Blurry where singer-songwriter Billie Eilish s brother-producer-collaborator Finneas explains to his and Billie s mother, Maggie Baird, that he s been told by the label to write a hit. The problem is that Billie, he notes, hates writing songs in general and is … so woke about her own persona on the internet that she s terrified of anything that she makes being hated. And her equation is that the more popular something is the more hate it s gonna get. This is the paradoxical mathematics of musical cool, as eternal as pi or the speed of light: The more fans you get, the more fans you lose.
