Robbie Williams, like beans on toast or the Royal family, is something that makes sense to British people and is completely alien to an American mind. On paper, an all-singing, all-dancing biopic of Williams — one of the most successful British artists of all time — as both a celebration of his life and an introduction to the uninitiated, is probably long overdue. ⁠ ⁠ But in Better Man, the newest musical biopic that aims to do just that, things are a little different. Williams is portrayed by a CGI monkey with zero acknowledgement of the situation. Imagine if in the climactic scene of Bohemian Rhapsody it wasn’t Oscar winner Rami Malek inhabiting the role of Freddie Mercury but a hairy backed Planet of the Apes-style primate — that’s Better Man. And weirdly, in this dizzyingly maximalist movie, it all (just about) makes perfect sense.⁠ ⁠ Read the feature at the link in bio.⁠ ⁠ 📸 Samir Hussein/WireImage⁠ ⁠ #RobbieWilliams
