Chronology

A singular profile of British pop superstar Robbie Williams. The film was created by filmmaker Michael Gracie from multiple interviews he recorded with Robbie Williams over a period of a year and a half at Williams’ recording studio in Los Angeles, United States. Although the interviews were not originally intended for a film, Gracie wanted to capture [Williams] telling his story in his own voice, “the majority of Williams’ voiceover in the film is from those recordings.” Robbie Williams: If you’re going to laugh, do it on the inside, okay?.

Jonno Davies, who plays Robbie, is a brilliant actor

I didn’t know what to expect from the film as I thought it would be a bit strange to see Robbie as a monkey. The monkey adds a lot to the film in the end. You immediately fall in love with him and after a few minutes it’s Robbie.

The story is one that touches your heart

Even though you don’t see his face, he certainly knows how to represent him. It’s not just about Robbie the pop star, it’s about his youth. I have a lot of respect for him.

The music and the visuals also add a lot to the film

With so many stories about his personal life, career and the challenges he faced, he dares to be so vulnerable in this film. The film is mixed with laughter but there are definitely tears too. By the end it left me speechless, with tears in my eyes, but most of all proud of who he is today.
