Better Man (2024) ☆☆☆(3/4): Robbie Williams presented as an ape (no kidding)
“Better Man” is another typical musician biography drama film with one notable difference. While it is surely filled with predictable ups and downs as illustrating the life and career of British musician Robbie Williams, the movie presents Williams as a … Continue reading
