"Billie Eilish's Hit Me Hard and Soft tour sold out every one of its 106 shows across four continents. Over a million and a half people saw her perform hits including "Bad Guy," "Ocean Eyes" and "Birds of a Feather." If you missed it - or want to see it again - a concert film recorded over Eilish's four-night stint at Manchester, England's Co-op Live Arena last July is opening in theaters this week with a surprising name on the bill: James Cameron, who shares directing credit with Eilish herself."
""Billie Eilish - Hit Me Hard and Soft: The Tour (Live in 3D)" captures Eilish's minimalist, personal production using Cameron's immersive high-frame-rate technology, last seen in "Avatar: Fire and Ash." You can even see that Eilish's two backup singers aren't wearing matching shoes. With no dancers or costume changes, all attention is focused purely on her performance and the ecstatic fans."
"MIKAEL WOOD: Like Kate Winslet's well-to-do Rose and Leonardo DiCaprio's impecunious Jack, the two of us come to "Hit Me Hard and Soft: The Tour" from different perspectives. Amy, you know everything about James Cameron and his movies but have never been to a Billie Eilish concert. I've seen the singer eight or nine times but still haven't sat through a single one of the "Avatar" films. (Love "Titanic," obviously.)"
