Better Man

Taking the leap of depicting it's protagonist as a CGI anthropomorphic chimp (Jonno Davies, in a motion-captured performance), this distinctive biopic tracks the life and 30-year career of British pop sensation Robbie Williams. Robbie's music is used to underscore his troubled youth, his '90s breakout with the boy band Take That, his pursuit of a solo career, and the descent into drugs that he finally confronted. Raechelle Banno, Alison Steadman, Kate Mulvaney, Steve Pemberton co-star; Williams narrates. 135 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English.
