Owen Gleiberman Chief Film CriticFor 20 years, ever since Gilbert Gottfried made the tasteless crack that inspired it just a few weeks after 9/11, “Too soon” has been the mantra we use to jokingly suggest someone is making a joke before the time is ripe for it.
But the phrase could also be applied to certain music documentaries. “Billie Eilish: The World’s a Little Blurry” caught the first chapters of Billie Eilish’s career, starting in 2015, when she recorded and posted “Ocean Eyes” on SoundCloud — and though she is still a young star (just 20), the film felt momentous, because her stardom has had such an extraordinary trajectory, and you feel, in a way, that she remade the pop-music world in her own image.Olivia Rodrigo is a very gifted star, but it feels as if she’s living in that remade world — and “Olivia Rodrigo: driving home 2 you (a SOUR film),” which drops this week on Disney Plus, is a decently baked slice of fan service that still seems like it might be arriving a little too soon.
The film, directed by Stacey Lee, is only 77 minutes long, and it doesn’t pretend to be a full-on documentary about Rodrigo’s life.
