'Better Man" interview with Tom Budge "Guy Chambers" (Paramount Pictures) Release: 01/17/2025 Better Man is based on the true story of the meteoric rise, dramatic fall, and remarkable resurgence of British pop superstar Robbie Williams, one of the greatest entertainers of all time. Under the visionary direction of Michael Gracey (The Greatest Showman), the film is uniquely told from Williams' perspective, capturing his signature wit and indomitable spirit. It follows Robbie's journey from childhood, to being the youngest member of chart-topping boyband Take That, through to his unparalleled achievements as a record-braking solo artist - all the while confronting the challenges that stratospheric fame and success can bring. Starring: Robbie Williams, Jonno Davies, Steve Pemberton, Damon Herriman, Raechelle Banno, Alison Steadman, Kate Mulvaney, Frazer Hadfield, Tom Budge, Anthony Hayes Directed By: Michael Gracey

Well, with Michael movie release there a new chapter of Twitter posts about BM. And as usual, just in a good shape!

Better Man was very truthful & aside from the great cinematography, beautiful music & great storytelling we very much saw the bad side of Robbie even if it was hard to watch but I think that is why people liked it . It was very honest . A lot of Biopics gloss over the bad stuff & people really do not relate to that.

Better Man Is a Biopic That Replaces the Star with a Chimp

Released 2024 | Written by Simon Gleeson, Oliver Cole and Michael Gracey | Directed by Michael Gracey

Better Man is best-known as a major flop, as this biopic about UK singer/songwriter Robbie Williams failed to intrigue US audiences. However, it's still an inventive movie, an insightful biopic and a fantastic musical.

The film follows Williams' career, from his childhood idolization of his performer father to his final confrontation with self-loathing and impostor syndrome. Williams has always been a talented musician, and the film includes a slew of legitimate modern classics including Let Me Entertain You, Angels and She's the One.

Unlike most biopics involving their subject, Better Man doesn't feel sanitized, and the decision to depict Williams as a CGI chimp ties into the movie's themes of self-destruction, impulsivity and need for validation.

Where to watch: Available to purchase or rent through all major retailers.
