Halley's comet gave me chills, the orchestra was amazing!!! The animation was also 10/10. And i loved the way the choir sang "goldwing", she is a genius.

Halley's comet
Impressive Talent
I am in my 20s, just so you understand better where this review is coming from. I don't usually like pop, but something about Billie's brutal honesty and raw talent just blows me away. I first fell for her music after hearing No Time to Die. I admit I don't like all her songs; Oxytocin just made my head hurt. My favorites right now are Your Power ?, Happier than Ever, and Male Fantasy. Her line about craving pity in Getting Older hits so hard; so many things that she says are just...wow. Good for her for being so honest. Not My Responsibility (spoken) and Overheated were painful to hear but important. She reminds us that she's just a young woman growing up with more scrutiny and criticism than we can imagine. I sense a lot of pain in her, and a fascinating mixture of both vulnerability and strength.
The video itself was quite good, with a tasteful mixture of animation and live action, spoken word and singing. To be clear, it's a concert with an occasional music video format. It still includes some profanity, but f-words are removed. It also includes some sexual innuendo and one irreverent reference. It's not for kids, but most teens could navigate it. I enjoyed it; it really showcases her power as a performer.
It is not the greatest thing you will ever see but it isn't bad
Please ignore the superfans giving it a 10 because it is Billie Eilish and please ignore the people giving it a 1 because "they fall asleep to her boring voice" or claiming that what she does "isn't really music". Really? If you don't like Billie Eilish, why in the world are you watching a concert movie with her? It just seems like such a weird waste of time.
I love Billie and I think she and Finnas are immensely talented! That being said, this was just a slightly above average concert movie. The performances are good, the animations are good but you really can't have a concert movie without an audience. I know they couldn't have one because of covid but I think they should have just postponed this until it was safe to record with an audience. As it is now, it is more like a long music video, and as such, the parts with them on stage aren't quite what you want. Giving it a 7 based on - in my opinion- great music an performances, but if you're not already a fan you should watch the documentary Billie Eilish: the world is a little blurry instead. It was a very interesting documentary which I think everyone can appreciate, even if you don't like Billie's music.
