Better Man (2024) [4K]
Directed by Michael Gracey, ‘Better Man’ is a biographical musical that delves into the life of British pop sensation Robbie Williams. The film offers a unique portrayal by depicting Williams as a CGI chimpanzee, a creative choice symbolizing his personal struggles and self-perception. This imaginative narrative chronicles his ascent from the youngest member of the boy band Take That to his record-breaking solo career, while candidly addressing challenges such as addiction, mental health issues, and the pressures of fame.
Released in December 2024, ‘Better Man’ features a blend of vibrant musical sequences and introspective moments, with Williams’ songs reimagined to align with the film’s emotional landscape. Despite its inventive approach, the film experienced a modest box office performance, grossing $19 million against a $110 million budget. However, it garnered critical acclaim for its bold storytelling and visual effects, earning an 88% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes. The film was also recognized with multiple award nominations, including Best Visual Effects at the 97th Academy Awards and a Golden Globe nomination for Best Original Song for ‘Forbidden Road’.
