Better Man
Better Man
This is an amazing story about one of the most famous pop artists of the nineties and 2000s. Robbie Williams is not just a talented singer, he is a charismatic and scandalous star who, in his youth, set himself the goal of breaking through and becoming famous throughout the world. The film tells how Robbie felt wild as a child, and to prove to everyone that he was capable of achieving a lot, he immersed himself in music.

Chronologically all over the shop. Jumpy, skipping over the parts of a life you’re expecting to re-witness. Hiding away from the Robbie we know from stage and screen… but that’s the point. Instead, we get a blunt look at Robert, the singing, dancing monkey. It’s by no means perfect, but it’s not meant to be. It’s about a cheeky monkey who struggled to find meaning once fame took hold, and failed to fulfil his hopes. The moments important to fans are skimmed and glossed over, straight to the times of unseen heartache that enveloped someone trying to navigate the world under constant scrutiny, often his own. A messy look through a lens, at times grimy, but most certainly honest. Entertained.
