Better Man

At just 15 years old, the young Robbie Williams becomes part of Take That and catapults himself from humble beginnings straight into the pop Olympus. But his unique global career becomes an emotional rollercoaster ride between success, self-doubt, personal crises and the battle against drug addiction. At his commercial peak and on the verge of a final crash, Robbie is faced with the decision of whether to destroy himself or face his demons ...

From insecure boy from Stoke-on-Trent to celebrated pop star: the story of Robbie Williams is world-famous, but has never been told for the cinema or in such an exuberantly original way as in Michael Gracey's biopic BETTER MAN - THE ROBBIE WILLIAMS STORY. In his acclaimed debut GREATEST SHOWMAN (2018), the exceptional director skilfully interwove musical elements, choreography, visual effects and an emotional story to create a rousing spectacle. In BETTER MAN, he lets Robbie tell the story of his life in the spotlight himself. Refreshingly different, extraordinarily intimate and, as befits one of the most successful artists on the planet, with a special twist: Gracey stages Robbie's story as he sees it himself - through the eyes of a monkey.

Congenially brought to the screen by the Oscar®-winning effects company Wētā FX, the director achieves nothing less than a reinterpretation of the entire biopic genre.
