After a long discussion with Robbie William, this film born in the director’s mind reflects the rise of a famous British singer and composer. In the 1990s, Robbie Williams, along with the boys band Take That, became a star, gradually immersed in an artificial paradise until her solo success in 1997. “Angels“.
This movie of great sincerity refers to the dark sides of the interpreter “Feel it”, While bringing real fresh air into a hacked genre. What do the first viewers think about the feature film?
At the time of writing with 260 ratings and 60 overview, Better Man has an average viewer rating of 4.2 stars from 5. That puts it at the head of a biographical basket.
Monkey: A good idea of a movie!
The first viewer appreciates musical sequences, the choice of songs, and the sincerity of the film that makes it exciting. But what is most awesome is CGI monkey. If the latter failed to convince the American community, it was a successful bet in France.
So Juliet M writes: “I saw this movie in advance and liked it!
It’s funny, exciting, sad, and we’ll find the singer’s exciting life. So yes, it has the same journey as the other stars of his time, sinking in artificial paradise, but I realize that this film – unlike other recent biographies – radiates great sincerity. It’s rare for this type! We come to Robbie Williams’ songs in our head and the new title “forbidden way” is very excited after attending this show. “
Darius 91 is the same opinion: “I was suspicious of watching this movie without Robbie Williams’ real kind. But in the end I am happy to go because I liked this biographical film. The pictures are wonderful, the direction is perfect, the narrative is good and the soundtrack is excellent. At the most important moments of his life, we understand the wandering, heartbreaking, pressure, the need for recognition.
He did well that he chose to appear in the form of a chimpanzee, as it adds to a deep dimension so that we will only focus on the real subject, not on a sympathetic/bad physics artist. We love it. And how nice it is to discover Robbie Williams’ successes and hits. May he give us more for many years of his career! ”

MATH719 writes: “What a success! We can not touch Bravo for this masterpiece for Michael Grace!
For Alext: “Thanks to the bold decision of Robbie Williams, with the help of excellent stage ideas, the film is approaching the artist’s trip with precision and severity, which shows its most intimate suffering without any filter. Without falling into melodrama or heavy music comedy, the film is pushing you with its authentic aspect and complex topics that it concerns, Robbie Williams, but not only. Real success and a bold invention of the genre of musical biography. “
Internet user Joyeux writes: “Absolutely unusual film. Uncompromising Robbie Williams’s dark parts and mistakes. She appreciates and browses mental health using a virtual character that, as a trick, is deeply embodied to Robbie Williams and lets you be with you.”

A really necessary biographical film?
Negatively, for some viewers, the choice of monkeys is not the best idea, while others point out that the life of the star is the same as the lives of other rock stars who have already had their biographical film, success, drugs, falls. Hell and redemption. So they are interested in the benefits of such a biography.
For Domit64 “Robbie Williams, through this film, which he produces, tries to expel demons, especially how he sees and thinks himself and chose to represent a monkey. I doubt this choice …
The film is long, very long, we quickly understand “injury”, then everything seems a bit unnecessary. On the other hand, the film goes a little bit in all directions: musical comedy, biographical, romantic comedy (see scene on the boat) and remains a very dark film. “
From Traversay1 Club Allociné, the movie is 2.5 and writes:“If 50 -year -old Robbie Williams already has the right to make her biographical film, it is because it is definitely a story to say, but is it really original, for example, compared to Elton John’s history? We have a very classic story. Raise, go to hell (drugs, alcohol and depression) and mandatory redemption.

The choice of the film is bold, starting with the idol, as a synthetic chimpanzee, is symbolic of the hatred of one’s self, who, beyond his phenomenal success, must take himself as “human”. The topic is universal and you do not need to be rich, talented and famous to join it.
However, Better Man is also a musical that aims to be shiny and spectacular, as well as an artist, we can admire Robbie Williams without subjugating the songs if we are not a prior fan. Throughout this epic there is a sense of payment with monkey money, of course, rhythmic and sincere, no doubt, but what teaches us nothing about fame, its epiphany, its restrictions and disorders. Question: What musical biographical film will we have in the future? Nana Muskuri or Mirilla Mathieu can look good, not (joke)? “
In short, A better man He was fascinated by his originality, sincerity, cautious products, and musical performance. However, some viewers condemn Robbie Williams’ lack of interest, as well as other rock stars.
Better Man is currently in movie theaters, do not hesitate to write your review after viewing.
