We watched it and... We are not crying YOU ARE crying.. this is absolutely breathtaking...Better Man is a visually inventive musical biopic about British pop icon Robbie Williams, directed by Michael Gracey. The film takes an imaginative approach, portraying Williams as a CGI chimpanzee—an artistic choice meant to symbolize how he perceives himself. Spanning his journey from childhood to his solo career, the narrative delves into his time with Take That, his battles with addiction, and his complex relationships. The film is distinguished by its striking visual style, with high-energy musical sequences delivered with what some critics describe as "berserk ferocity." While the movie does include some familiar biopic tropes, it is ultimately celebrated for its creativity, emotional depth, and entertainment value. Critics have praised the bold CGI ape concept and the film's captivating spectacle, solidifying Better Man as a fresh and engaging take on the musical biopic genre.
