Synopsis
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 Williams’ 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.

Atom User Reviews
I loved it. I am not really a fan of musicals but this one form the start had me hooked. Form the beginning of childhood to adulthood you will ever learn more about this man then whatever book or tv-show can ever provide you with. It's a movie worth watching and learning form to grow as a better person each day. If it's ever getting a physical release on Blu ray or 4K buy it and treasure it heck buy even the soundtrack along with it. 10 out of 10.
the music was epic the story was heartfelt and so poignant. loved it!
Metacritic
Better Man is a triumph of cheek and imagination. Gracey attempts much but actually manages to accomplish all that he set out to do.
The unexpected advantage here is that, when Williams wants to be truly upfront about his struggles, that veneer of fantasy shields us from the more harrowing details of his life, so that we can confront them yet still enjoy that “right f***ing entertaining”.
Dodgy depictions of real-life celebs (such as Liam Gallagher) clash with the film’s fantastical tone, which itself can’t support Gracey’s attempt to address serious topics.
