Better Man

Director Michael Gracey leverages his extensive visual effects background to produce a dazzling and singular profile of British pop superstar Robbie Williams - with a monkey in the lead role.

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 Robbie's 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-breaking solo artist - all the while confronting the challenges that stratospheric fame and success can bring.

With its vibrant music, state-of-the-art visuals, and brilliant “casting” conceit, there may be no movie experience more singular, disarming, and downright entertaining this year than Better Man. And, as a portrait of a tortured, talented star, it’s endlessly moving.
