Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe film arose from multiple interview recordings filmmaker Michael Gracey made with Robbie Williams during the course of a year and a half in Williams' recording studio in Los Angeles, in the United States. Although the interviews weren't originally for a film, as Gracey "just wanted to capture [Williams] in his own voice telling his story," the majority of Williams' voiceover in the film is from those recordings.
- GoofsIn real life, Robbie Williams' shows at Knebworth happened in 2003, while his Royal Albert Hall appearance was two years earlier, in 2001.
- Quotes
Robbie Williams: You've always been there for Robbie Williams, dad. Why couldn't you just be there for Robert?

Featured review
This year, I've watched some pretty intense movies, but one that really hit me hard emotionally is about an ape? Well, it's actually about Robbie Williams, who's humorously called himself a "performing monkey" in interviews, saying he feels "a little less evolved" than others. The film dives into his rise to fame as the youngest and most audacious member of Take That, showcasing his wild antics and well-known struggles with drugs and partying.
"Better Man" explores the huge gap between how the public views the pop star and how he sees himself, highlighting how his inner battles often overshadow the success he fought so hard to achieve.
Directed by Michael Gracey, who also brought us "The Greatest Showman," this film features one of my all-time favorite songs: I DID IT MY WAY! You won't find another music biopic like "Better Man," no matter how much you know about Robbie. It's incredibly personal!
After experiencing this incredible film, Robbie Williams has truly earned the title of THE LEGEND, whether as an ape or as a human!
