BETTER MAN
at the cinema with Lynne followed by an early dinner at a Thai Restaurant
biopic:
detailing the life of UK pop singer Robbie Williams from early childhood through to the early 2000's including his time in boy-band Take That.
a pretty warts and all showing of sex, drugs, insecurities and frailties.
i knew he had a fondness for the old singers (Sinatra, Deano and Sammy Davis Jr) but never realised they formed a huge part of his musical DNA.
the reason he is portrayed as a CGI primate in the movie is because, as he says towards the end of the movie, "when you become famous you cease to develop as a person and remain the age you were when fame hit", in Williams case that age was 15, therefore he feels like a primate in a lot of ways ie: underdeveloped as a human.
a pretty solid movie in our opinions
rating: 3.5/5
