A unique profile of British pop superstar Robbie Williams
The film is made from multiple recordings of interviews that filmmaker Michael Gracey conducted with Robbie Williams over a year and a half at Williams’ recording studio in Los Angeles, United States. Although the interviews were not originally intended for the film, as Gracey “just wanted to capture [Williams] in his own voice telling his story,” most of Williams’ voiceover in the film is from those recordings.
He appears in The 7PM Project: Episode 5, December 2024 (2024)
Robbie Williams: If you’re going to laugh, do it from the inside, okay? An utterly unbridled, emotional and impactful cinematic achievement.
It has the balls to do things that other biopics can’t
The visual creativity shines through with hard drug-induced sequences with a touch of fantasy, while unapologetically exploring Williams’ mental health. While there are familiar tropes, it delves deeper into thematic material than you might expect.
This is no ordinary biopic
The biggest controversy surrounding the film was the CGI monkey, but its presence feels so seamlessly integrated that it’s barely a second thought. Once you walk out of the theater, you’ll never hear Sinatra’s “My Way” the same way again.
You won’t regret it, trust me
Go see it and give it a chance.
