Better Man Review
‘Better Man’ Tells the Story of Pop Singer Robbie Williams in Unique Fashion. Michael Gracey’s film charts Williams’ early life and rise to fame –– at least in the UK –– by having its subject portrayed by a CG ape. Opening in theaters on December 25th, ‘Better Man’ is a distinctly unconventional music biopic (at least in one respect), since it portrays British singer and pop star Robbie Williams as a CG simian for its entire running time.
Directed by ‘The Greatest Showman’s Michael Gracey, it tells the performer’s story with humor, heart and no little sense of honesty, since it lets Williams reveal his inner demons even as his fame takes off like a rocket.
