A unique profile of British pop superstar Robbie Williams
The film was created from a series of interviews that director 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 own story”, most of Williams’ voice in the film comes from these recordings. Robbie Williams: If You’re Laughing, Do It Inside, you can see in the series on December 5, 2024. theater, music and dance, and this film does not disappoint with its view, but while fewer biographies take you on a journey through blockbusters, this film takes you on a journey through Robbie Williams’ psyche as he comes to terms with everything he has ever achieved.
I wanted to, but it still doesn’t feel like enough
The film moves at breakneck speed and there are very few moments where the film stops to breathe, but it is thanks to Michael Gracey and the team around him that the film still contains strong emotions. kicks Jonno Davies is fantastic as Robbie, capturing his movements and idiosyncrasies perfectly. The Weta team should also be commended for their incredible work in transforming his performance into a chimpanzee, which symbolizes how Robbie sees himself (an ape in performance, less developed than those around him). Rachel Banno plays Nicole Appleton (from All Saints) and gives an emotional performance as Robbie’s fiancé.
The film benefits greatly from being an independent film
Her dance performance and the montage of their meeting are truly one of the highlights of the film. Steve Pemberton is perfect as Robbie’s father – the man who made him who he is in the worst possible way. This seems to be the story Michael Gracey really wanted to tell. Sex, drugs and rock and roll are exposed in all their grotesque glory.
His singing and voice work were also excellent
Robbie Williams himself should be commended for allowing the film to lay all its flaws and mistakes at the feet of the audience. Large parts of the film are not good for him, and the film is made better by his honesty with the audience. This film is impressive and in your eyes almost the entire time, and yet, like the man it films, it has a sensitive soul beneath all the bravado. It is the best film of the year, a visual and aural feast.
