‘Better Man’ Review: Robbie Williams Musical Wins Points For Most Unusual Star Casting In Movie Biopic History – Telluride Film Festival
A Review of 'Better Man' , a musical biopic of british superstar Robbie Williams who is portrayed by a CGI monkey in this Michael Gracey production
Gracey took it literally apparently because in pure Planet Of The Apes style Jonno Davies goes apeshit CGI inhabiting the role of Williams as the star voices it and narrates his own story just to remind us there is actually a human being portrayed here in this most blazingly original idea. The large supporting cast is also quite fine including a superb Pemberton in a key role as his father, and notably Rochelle Banno as a pop star romantically involved with Williams until a decision to have an abortion changes things. Cast: Robbie Williams, Jonno Davies, Steve Pemberton, Damon Herriman, Rachelle Banno, Alison Steadman, Kate Mulvaney, Tom Badge, Anthony Hayes
