Here are review links for this film submitted by our members:

  • Rick Aragon @ Rick’s Texan Reviews
  • David “DC” Bolling @ DC’s Take
    • Excerpt: Better Man offers a unique spin to the traditional musical biopic that is unbelievably appealing to fans of Robbie Williams. If this leaves you captivated to listen to his music and gives you a glimpse inside his head with an unusual yet bold decision of his portrayal, then this got the job done.
  • [New] | Samuel Castro @ El Colombiano [Spanish]
    • Excerpt: El éxito o el fracaso de las películas biográficas sobre músicos depende en buena parte de que los guionistas y los directores alcancen ese difícil equilibrio entre lograr que la música —que finalmente es lo que los ha vuelto relevantes para millones de personas— haga parte “orgánica” de la narración y que la presentación de la vida del músico sea algo más que una sucesión de fechas, conciertos y confirmaciones de chismes.
  • Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
    • Excerpt: for a movie about a pop star most in the U.S. have never heard of who’s depicted as a chimp, “Better Man” turns out to be more ambitious, cinematic and artsy than expected, a big armful of show biz razzle dazzle.
  • Mark Hobin @ Fast Film Reviews
    • Excerpt: A musical biopic that doesn’t shy away from making its subject look like a bad person—and it was remarkably made with Robbie Williams’ involvement.
  • Jared Mobarak @ Hey, have you seen …?
    • Excerpt: 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.
  • Dan Stalcup @ The Goods: Film Reviews
    • Excerpt: Better Man has a deeply chaotic soul of different creative ideas struggling for dominance. I’m not entirely convinced it lands the plane, but I appreciate the flight nonetheless.
  • Sebastian Zavala @ MeGustaElCine.com [Spanish]
    • Excerpt: “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.
