Better Man: Movie Review




A creative and inventive way to tell a traditional biopic.
Well, one thing is certain, you have never seen a biopic that looks like this. Using a CGI monkey in place of pop star Robbie Williams is a creative and inventive way to turn a traditional biopic into a surreal and thoroughly entertaining musical extravaganza. And you’ll never see it again. It’s a fantastic gimmick that will work exactly once and congratulations to director Michael Gracey and executive producer Robbie Williams for pulling it off.   2024

Directed by: Michael Gracey

Screenplay by: Simon Gleeson, Oliver Cole, Michael Gracey

Starring: Robbie Williams, Steve Pemberton
