A unique profile of British pop superstar Robbie Williams. The film is created from multiple interviews that director Michael Gracey conducted with Robbie Williams over the course of a year and a half at Williams' school. Although the interviews were not originally for the film, as Gracey "just wanted to capture [Williams] in his own voice telling his story," most of Williams' voiceover in the film comes from those recordings.

December 2024 (2024). I didn't know what to expect from the film because I thought it would be quite weird to see Robbie as a monkey. After all, the monkey brings a lot to the film.
You fall in love with it
I get it straight away, and after a few minutes, it's Robbie. Jonno Davies, who plays Robbie, is a brilliant actor. Even though you don't see his face, he certainly knows how to play it.
The story is heartwarming
It's not just about Robbie the pop star, but also about his early years. I respect him so much. He dares to be so vulnerable in this film, with many stories about his personal life, his career and the challenges he had to face.
The film is a mix of laughter, but definitely also tears
The music and the images also add a lot to the film. At the end he left me speechless, with tears in my eyes, but above all PROUD of who he is today.
