Billie Eilish: The World's a Little Blurry
Scored from 45 calibrated IMDb reviewers, each re-centered on their own rating baseline before the title is ranked. Cohort: Films · 2020s (7,930 peers).
Summary
R.J. Cutler's vérité documentary follows Billie Eilish across roughly a year and a half beginning at age seventeen, as her debut album 'When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?' turns her into a global pop star. Much of it is filmed in the cramped Highland Park bungalow where she lives with her parents and her brother Finneas, who writes and produces the record with her in his childhood bedroom. The cameras stay with her through arena touring, ankle injuries and Tourette's tics, a draining first relationship, learning to drive, and the run-up to the 2020 Grammy Awards. Home video shot by her mother is woven through the present-day footage.

How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this title against every other title those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — a 7/10 from a hard grader sits well above their average, while a 7/10 from a generous grader sits below theirs. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a raw average.
- Global percentile
- Where Billie Eilish: The World's a Little Blurry lands against every title we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — titles of the same format released in the same decade. A 1970s film is judged against 1970s films, not against last year's streaming series. Ranked against Films · 2020s (7,930 titles).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each title keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 45.
