I'll give this movie some credit for being ambitious and imaginative, with one real show-stopping musical number, but it is probably is a lot more entertaining for those who have at least heard of Robbie Williams, or better yet, those who like his music.

| Original Score: B | Apr 3, 2025

Some of his most iconic concerts are depicted on grand stages, merging fantasy and reality until the surreal presence of the chimpanzee completely captivates the viewer, drawing us into Williams' psyche. [Full review in Spanish]

Unexpectedly affecting, Better Man takes an innovative approach to the musical biopic, and while Robbie Williams as portrayed by a VFX chimp might shed more light on the trappings of celebrity and addiction than it does to his contribution to pop music...

| Original Score: 4/5 | Mar 20, 2025

Even if you don't know who Robbie Williams is, the film will suit you...It's a 100% spectacular film...[Full review in Spanish]

Better Man is the best musical of this decade so far. [Full Review in Spanish]

| Mar 8, 2025

...Better Man is, by far, the best musical that 2024 has given us.

| Mar 7, 2025

Better Man transforms the familiar music biopic formula into an unexpected, dazzling spectacle—flamboyant, hypnotic, and unapologetically Robbie

| Original Score: 4/5 | Mar 1, 2025

...not everything ends well, the mixture of music with the plot and the monkey do not end up pairing well, and the mixture is not entirely bland, but quite tasteless at more than one moment. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 2/4 | Feb 28, 2025

You must give Williams a ton of respect for allowing himself to be as vulnerable as needed to ensure this script is as meaningful as it is entertaining.

| Original Score: 8/10 | Feb 28, 2025

When he is on fire, Williams has the gift of automatically and effortlessly capturing the audience's full attention. In its 132 minutes, for all its self-parody, this film fails to find that aspect of his personality...[Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 28, 2025

Better Man is a wonderful and completely personal film in which the singer manages to disclose his traumas...in an impressive way, maintaining a remarkable balance between his personal and professional life. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 10/10 | Feb 25, 2025

...one of the most bold, hilarious and entertaining biopics in quite some time. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 25, 2025

“Better Man” has a point of view, a solid proposition and vision, which is less common to see than I would like. However, here it makes all the difference in the world, and therefore, ends up making it an exceptional experience. [Full review in Spanish].

| Original Score: 5/5 | Feb 25, 2025

I didn’t hate Better Man from chimpan-A to chimpan-Z, but ultimately, making a monkey out of Robbie Williams is an idea too difficult for Gracey to pull off.

| Feb 12, 2025

It should not work, and yet the commitment by director Michael Gracey is such that it's hard to look away.

| Feb 11, 2025

It's raw, so simple, but by having that chimpanzee in there it's somehow extremely stark.

| Feb 11, 2025

The otherwise familiar music biopic gets a lively and even poignant cinematic experience.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Feb 11, 2025

If you’re worried Robbie Williams as a chimp will be distracting, it soon seems not so much off-the-wall as necessary. His story is brutal but it’s also common; how else to get people’s attention?

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Feb 10, 2025

Its generic rise-to-fall-to-redemption narrative is unbearably dull. However, the musical numbers are pretty electric and the editing is often inspired and clever.

| Original Score: B- | Feb 10, 2025

Gracey has transformed Williams' life, music, and demons into a thunderous cinematic spectacle.
