⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A Better Man offers a raw, unfiltered look into the life of Robbie Williams, blending nostalgia with stark honesty. This biopic doesn’t just chart his rise to fame; it delves into the personal battles behind the headlines, creating a compelling and deeply human portrait of the pop icon – with the added twist of the Robbie being portrayed as a CGI monkey.

What Works:

🐵Robbie’s Vulnerability: Williams’ candid reflections on fame, addiction, and mental health give the film a genuine emotional core.
🐵Nostalgic Journey: Fans of Take That and Robbie’s solo career will enjoy the well-curated archival footage and music that is sure to bring back memories.
🐵Direction & Editing: From the director of The Greatest Showman, this film balances humour and heartbreak, presenting Robbie’s story with a clear, empathetic lens.

What Doesn’t:

🎤Pacing Issues: The narrative occasionally lingers on less significant moments, slowing the momentum.
🎤Limited External Perspective: While Robbie’s voice is essential, more input from family, bandmates, or industry peers could have added depth.

Final Thoughts:

A Better Man is a poignant reminder of the human cost of stardom. It’s a must-watch for fans and a thoughtful exploration of fame’s hidden struggles. Come for the music, stay for the honesty.
