I heard Billie (and Finneas) Eilish a couple of years ago for the first time. I am an avid music lover, but there is something so special about her voice and their lyrics. It defies ages. Not the Voice of a generation, the Voice for Generations. I am older but feel no shame at all, only awe at this magnificent talent.
I found the documentary insightful, touching and at times disturbing. It gave such an honest portrayal of her, from every angle. So refreshing to see someone and so young, so confident in her "uncomfortableness" and "comfortableness". Willing to share and discuss it all. I found it all, very moving.
There was a disturbing part however, the business, which felt like #metoo. How can you force and push and push someone in such a way, not even taking her age into account?
Billie and her brother, are geniuses that defy any age. I found myself deeply enthralled in their journey, as well as part of the disease, as I was left wanting to see more. Made me think of her song "Everything I wanted". Think that song summarizes her journey and documentary.
We do not own people/artists and this kind of industry with it's suffocation and exploitation surely has to seize before it destroys what it is supposed to be nurturing and promoting. Preaching and hypocrisy combined, I loved it. For all the wrong and right reasons.
9/10. This must have taken forever to film and was clearly done so with heart. Breathtaking, captivating and emotional.
