Everything
She Wanted
Cinematographer Jenna Rosher captures
the whirlwind rise of pop star Billie Eilish.
By Patricia Thomson
B
illie Eilish made her mark with a voice that's raw, real
and intimate - so it stands to reason that any documentary
about her should follow suit. And what's more
raw, real and intimate than cinéma vérité?
The Apple TV Plus documentary Billie Eilish: The
World's a Little Blurry is true to form. Up close and
personal, it follows the singer from her viral breakthrough
with her debut single " Ocean Eyes, " recorded at age 13, to her
five Grammys by age 18. (She has since added two more Grammys to her
impressive list of accomplishments.) During the pivotal year when Eilish
and her brother Finneas wrote, recorded and toured to promote her
first studio album, When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?, director R.J.
Cutler and cinematographer Jenna Rosher stuck close by. The vérité veterans
captured not only Eilish's meteoric rise, but also the siblings' DIY
music-making process, the stress of touring, and quotidian moments at
home with their parents. Their record of this journey is a coming-of-age
story as well, with all the signs of a teen growing up: getting your driver's
license and first car, the travails of having a largely absentee boyfriend,
goofy handshakes with your brother, and, since this is Billie Eilish, connecting
with fans on Instagram Live with a pet tarantula crawling up
your shirt.
