Celebrating the artistry of Robbie Williams, this English singer-songwriter has transitioned from boy band fame to tabloid controversy and now stands tall as a record-setting solo artist. His latest work, Better Man, serves as an engaging biopic enriched with iconic tracks from various points in his career, such as “Angels,” “She’s the One,” and “Rock DJ.” This film illustrates both his triumphant moments and struggles. Collaborating with writer/director Michael Gracey, known for The Greatest Showman, Williams introduces a bold concept to the often unoriginal music biopic genre: he portrays himself metaphorically as a dancing monkey.
Better Man reveals Williams’ challenging upbringing in Stoke-on-Trent, his rebellious phase with Take That, battles with addiction, tumultuous relationships within the pop scene, notorious celebrity rivalries, and complex family dynamics—all depicted through the lens of a CGI chimpanzee reminiscent of modern reboots like Planet of the Apes. Initially perceived as a lighthearted gimmick to capture audience interest due to its quirky nature, this choice ultimately ties into a deeper narrative crafted by Gracey. The film melds real performances from actors alongside visuals produced by renowned VFX studio Wētā FX to create an evocative exploration of an artist’s inner conflict.
While elements of Williams’ life might align with familiar storytelling tropes, presenting him through this unconventional lens adds novelty while blending humor and vulnerability exquisitely. This results in what can be touted as one of the most compelling music biopics since Elton John’s acclaimed Rocketman, which Gracey served as executive producer on.

A multifaceted question arises when examining who fills Robbie’s shoes (or paws). While Williams contributes his voiceovers—crafted by screenwriters Gracey alongside Oliver Cole and Simon Gleeson—from personal interviews he conducted; it’s English actor Jonno Davies (Hunters) who embodies him physically on-screen. Davies brings together traits that blend muscularity akin to that of a chimpanzee while embodying swagger that mimics rockstar charm. Adorned in motion-capture gear rather than period clothing—a small camera tracks every expression denoting emotional nuance—Davies’ performance informs Wētā’s creation process bringing chimp Robbie’s character alive based on Williams’ own features including hairstyles—in addition to merging both their voices seamlessly into an unforgettable portrayal representative of vulnerability interlaced with strength.
Narration finds Williams introducing himself amid playful humor tinged with criticism he has often faced throughout his career—the action is matched by Davies’ embodiment exhibited through energetic antics filled established bravado softened by endearing clumsiness amidst roguish gestures; there exists even moments showcasing cheekily explicit humor! Yet more than mere amusement equips it tightly woven adolescence plus darkness within—Better Man’s commitment toward authenticity refusing nothing regarding troubling subjects surrounding drug dependency or romantic turmoil draws viewers deeper into moments revealing raw humanity beneath stardom’s glitz injecting sincerity rife tone throughout angle explored gracefully!
