Better Man

 Better Man

A Primate-Powered Pop-Tale of Robbie Williams!

Get ready for Better Man, the bold, dazzling musical biopic that reimagines Robbie Williams's life in the most unexpected way: as an animated CGI chimpanzee. This inventive, emotionally rich film is directed by Michael Gracey (The Greatest Showman) and brings Robbie's rise, fall, and resurrection to life in vibrant, surreal style. 🐒🎶


🔍 What’s the Story?

  • The Music Makes the Man – Tracing Robbie’s journey from Stoke-on-Trent to global fame with Take That and his iconic solo career, the film uses electrifying musical numbers—like a jaw-dropping “Rock DJ” on Regent Street—to propel the narrative 

  • Chimp, Interrupted – Portraying Robbie as a CGI chimp mirrors his own feelings of being a “performing monkey” and upends the typical biopic form 

  • Fall Into the Spotlight – The film doesn’t shy away from darkness: addiction, depression, and identity struggles are tackled head-on, with impactful visual sequences like Robbie fighting versions of himself, symbolizing internal battles 

🎭 Who’s in the Cast?

  • Robbie Williams – Voices his chimp self and narrates, offering candid insight 

  • Jonno Davies – Brings the CGI chimp to vivid life via motion-capture Steve Pemberton – Portrays Robbie’s complex father, adding emotional context 

  • Damon Herriman – Captures Take That manager Nigel Martin-Smith, guiding Robbie into the spotlight

  • Raechelle Banno – Plays Nicole Appleton, Robbie’s first serious love 

🎬 Creative Team & Style

  • Director: Michael Gracey, visionary behind The Greatest Showman Writers: Gracey, Simon Gleeson, Oliver Cole 

  • Cinematography & VFX: Striking set-pieces blend CGI and musical fantasy to make every scene pop—literally and emotionally 

🌟 Why It’s a Must-Watch

  • Fresh Biopic Formula – Casting the lead as a CGI chimp is more than gimmick—it’s metaphor, making the story feel intimate and daring 

  • Emotional Core – The film explores mental health, addiction, self-doubt, and redemption with sincerity—and a powerful visual punch 

  • Critically Acclaimed – Garnered an impressive 89% critics and 90% audience approval on Rotten Tomatoes, praised as one of the year's best musical biopics 

  • Musical Spectacles – The “Rock DJ” number is a standout: a one-shot carnival of rhythm, costumes, and energy—worth the price of admission alone 

  • Global & Personal – Though Robbie Williams is more famous outside the U.S., the film’s heart and spectacle resonate universally, touching on universal themes of identity and belonging 

🎯 Who Will Love This?

  • Fans of Robbie Williams and Take That, eager to see his untold story

  • Musical lovers who enjoy grand set-pieces with emotional depth

  • Viewers interested in innovative storytelling and metaphoric visuals

  • Anyone drawn to biopics that dig beyond fame and explore inner life

🧭 Final Take

Better Man is a spectacularly inventive ride—a musical biopic that breaks the mold by showing us fame through the eyes of a CGI chimp. Packed with flash, depth, and emotional honesty, it’s a bold remark in the genre. Whether or not you know Robbie, this film entertains and makes you think—about identity, vulnerability, and the cost of performance.
