Plot
A unique profile of British pop star Robbie Williams
The film is based on a series of interviews that filmmaker Michael Gracey made with Robbie Williams over a year and a half at Williams’ recording studio in Los Angeles, USA. Although the interviews were not originally intended for a film, as Gracey “just wanted to capture [Williams] in his own voice telling his story”, the majority of Williams’ narration in the film is from these recordings.

While there are familiar tropes, it delves deeper into the thematic material than you’d expect and has the guts to do what other biopics can’t. The biggest controversy surrounding the film was the CGI monkey, but its presence feels so seamlessly integrated that you hardly give it a second thought.
This is no ordinary biopic
