Robbie Williams's self-description as a "performing monkey" becomes a crucial element in Michael Gracey’s biopic, showcasing Williams's complex relationships with fame and personal struggles.
Using a CGI chimpanzee to portray Williams offers a unique angle, imbuing the narrative with humor and unpredictability that elevates the film beyond typical rock biopics.
While the film covers familiar territory—Williams's challenging childhood and substance abuse—the emotional moments are intensified by the humor and chaos of the ape narrative.
Better Man proves to be a significant improvement for Gracey, as he successfully blends slick visuals with heartfelt storytelling, highlighting the raw vulnerabilities of its subject.
