An interesting film...as a portrait of Holliday, it is very thorough and there's so much great music in it...

Kermode & Mayo's Film Review
Journalist Kuehl's story is a subplot to the main attraction, and it's an interesting way to tell this already unique story that showcases the seamier side of Holiday's life.

James Erskine's Billie is a little gem of a documentary, more oral history than biography.

The story does not attempt to shield its audience from the harsh reality of the time or of the moments of corruption that occurred, but instead it brings to the foreground a well-rounded depiction of the legendary singer of jazz music.

Erskine's film works on every level: it could just as usefully teach you the basics about Holiday, or give serious fans something to pore over more than once.
