Reviews
Clint Worthington
It's brash, in your face, and on the nose. But that's Robbie Williams. Could a biopic of him play out any other way? C'mon. Let him entertain you.
Amy Nicholson
If you could tear your eyes away from the screen enough to check a stopwatch, not one minute goes by without a flourish that's either funny, ridiculous, stunning or emotional.
David Fear
It's not a vehicle for converting the non-believers. Diehard fans, the Robbie-curious and those who love to eavesdrop on therapy sessions, however, will adore it.
Jeannette Catsoulis
Neither hagiography nor hatchet job, the movie casts an understanding eye on a once-infamous musical artist who weathered dizzying highs and devastating lows.
Bilge Ebiri
A blazing, restless inventiveness that goes beyond mere sensationalism into something downright pathological.
Bob Strauss
Can't fault Williams for becoming the beloved entertainer that was always his aspiration, though. "The Greatest Showman" director Gracey plays into that, especially in the spectacle-packed music sequences that overdo the maudlin and martyr imagery.
Jocelyn Noveck
The key is that Williams' need to entertain was primal -- so primal that it triumphed over self-doubt, depression and addiction. It should surprise nobody, then, that this film, produced and narrated by Williams, is above all entertaining.
Rafer Guzman
An out-of-nowhere biopic that monkeys around with formula and comes up with something truly original.
Randy Myers
Better Man stocks itself fully with priceless, surprisingly tender moments along with numerous telling concert scenes.
Peter Travers
In a world of humans, bad boy British pop rocker Robbie Williams casts himself as a computer=generated monkey. Too much? Maybe. But damn, this banger-infused biopic works like gangbusters under the visual magic of monkeyshines director Michael Gracey
Thelma Adams
Despite some dazzling dance sequences and a final upbeat swing of reconciliation and forgiveness, it's a threadbare narrative arc.
Gary M. Kramer
The film, however, would surely be better as a conversation with a therapist, rather than an estimated $110 million-budget movie.
Brian Truitt
Interestingly, the best part of "Better Man" is Williams.
Michael Andor Brodeur
If any miracles are performed here, they belong to Gracey, who in one swoop has managed to reinvent the biopic, up the ante on the ongoing revival of movie musicals and raise the legacy of Robbie Williams to a level that feels fully earned.
Adam Graham
There are moments in "Better Man," the often thrilling biopic of unabashedly cheeky U.K. pop star Robbie Williams, where you forget you're watching a CGI monkey in the lead role.
Mark Kermode
In the end, it is overlong, it is indulgent, and it is essentially foolish, but for all that, it is much more rewarding and entertaining than I expected, and damn it if that central idea actually doesn't work.
David Sims
It properly delves into its subject's erratic persona, using the musical segments to advance the story instead of as mandatory breaks in the action. The result is one of the most thoughtfully constructed movies about a musician I've seen in years.
Tasha Robinson
While the movie is drawn from Robbie Williams' life, it's better to think of it as a fantasy feature. Michael Gracey plays with image and emotion over facts, telling a story through bold, expressive, visually startling sequences.
Adam Nayman
Regardless of how much Better Man actually works, it's one of the only recent movies made at its budget level with a genuinely interesting relationship between its form and content.
Tim Cogshell
It's raw, so simple, but by having that chimpanzee in there it's somehow extremely stark.
