Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe film arose from multiple interview recordings filmmaker Michael Gracey made with Robbie Williams during the course of a year and a half in Williams' recording studio in Los Angeles, in the United States. Although the interviews weren't originally for a film, as Gracey "just wanted to capture [Williams] in his own voice telling his story," the majority of Williams' voiceover in the film is from those recordings.
- GoofsIn real life, Robbie Williams' shows at Knebworth happened in 2003, while his Royal Albert Hall appearance was two years earlier, in 2001.
- Quotes
Robbie Williams: Nigel Martin Smith was, for legal reasons, an absolute sweetheart. And a first class cunt.
- ConnectionsEdited from Robbie Williams Live at Knebworth (2003)
Featured review
I've never felt moved enough by a film before to feel the need to write a review - I haven't laughed and cried so much in the cinema for a very long time
I've never been a massive Robbie Williams/Take that fan - so this is not a super fan review
This film was a first hand gut wrenching look at how awful fame can be in all its inglorious brutal reality.
In a year of lacklustre disappointing cinema this was a shining light of entertainment - with some excellent story telling, singing and dance routines (and an all too real glimpse into the lives of Robbie and his family).
Watching the main themes of abandonment, alcoholism, addiction, helplessness & forgiveness play out in this story was exceptionally moving and a biopic to be remembered and revered.
