This film is waaaaay better than it should be, or needs to be. I’m a Robbie fan, but I didn’t have high hopes for this. It is mesmerising. It’s was over 2 hours and yet when it finished it felt like it just started. Epic, emotional, weirdly more real by being so surrealist. Has to in consideration for Best Film at the Oscars and BAFTAs, I’m not sure what they’re looking for if it isn’t - much more powerful experience than Bohemian Rhapsody’s or Rocketman, as great as they were!
@@alexjohnstonjohnston5374 Absolutely agree with you this movie is extraordinary it blew me away. I was laughing, crying, in shock, singing, it was so emotional. I hope it wins many awards. I loved the other two movies as well but this one is epic.
I just was kinda annoyed that outside his childhood, the film didnt really explain anything. I didnt feel I got an adequate explanation WHY he felt so mentally ill, WHY he turned to drugs or how. Who introduced them, did he dive in hard or did he slowly spiral? It also didnt do well at showing HOW he broke through and became famous, he kinda just shows up on mega shows half way into the movie. It didnt help all the side characters basically didnt exist. His best friend had like 2 minutes of screen time, his partner had like 5 minutes of screen time. I liked the movie, but felt if I just got a bit more reasoning on pivot points in his life I'd have enjoyed it way more. I guess its fitting but a solid 1 hour or so of the movie was just a whirlpool of music and drugs without any actual plot.
Cannot agree more. Bohemian, Rocketman, the Whitney one, and the Elvis one were all just a chronology of things that happened. This one had the depth and layers that we’ve been waiting for in biopics. I had so much fun watching it because it was truly stunning and entertaining but I also bawled my eyes out, touched by the struggles that he and the people around him went through. Such a beautifully made film. And I’m just so glad that Rob got through and we get a happy ending in this biopic 💛
I just saw it (because is sounded really weird). It was brilliant and emotional... not at all what i expected. Ill be recommending it to everyone i know.
Exactly! Brilliant and emotional, and entertaining as well! I had so much fun watching it and bawled my eyes out 😂 best biopic in recent years, by far!
Saw this film tonight. It was excellent. Exciting, entertaining, human with just the right amount of tongue-in-cheek and self-indulgence. I have no idea how, but the chimp works. Spectacular musical sequences too.. the ones with Take That particularly hilarious.
this is a really great interview!! i love that the questions were clear, important and meaningful, and got meaningful and considered answers by robbie and jonno, but i most appreciate how Lucie lifted the mood at the end, after her heaviest question, and left everyone in a good mood and everything on a good note. lovely interview!
I held this film in my heart for two days after I watched it, I probably still am. I’m an empath. I felt it. Wow! It was brilliant. I’ve always felt a protection for Rob. Someone i don’t know but has been in my life since I was 11.
Same, I’ve loved every song of his we managed to get on Canadian radio waves since about the same age. Couldn’t believe how much the movie moved me and took me to a very emotional place. Not triggered, exactly, but surprised with how much I could relate to parts of his story
I remember rewatching my Knebworth DVD all the time, enjoying it and worrying about Robbie at the same time because I could tell he wasn’t in a good place. I’m just glad that in this biopic it’s a happy ending, because Robbie made it 💛
The performing monkey of Take That personified as the animal he felt like... makes perfect sense. Lovely at the end there where Robbie realised he'd been the core focus for half the interview and he turned it back into an interview about both of them.
I watched the movie and it was great. I love his music love his energy also listen to his tunes at work while cooking and my favorite songs are she's the one and come undone.
Thankfully the two of them have grown up now, they are not these cocky petulant teenagers anymore and they acknowledge that like proper adults, unlike some of their American counterparts (Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds) who still think they are in high school.
I'm a life long massive Robbie fan, his music got me into singing and I just adore him. Been to see the movie this evening, absolutely loved the story but the monkey thing didn't work for me. It felt like that kid who realises people are laughing at their joke, then keeps telling it and doesn't know when to stop. I get the concept of it but imo it should have been strategically placed into the story at times rather than played out across the entire movie. It was off-putting and pulled me out of the story too many times, I got disassociated from what it was about because I was looking at a CGI monkey instead of a human. They didn't need to do that for the Queen or Elton John biopic and they were very well received, personally I think this decision whilst brave and an attempt to be different, is probably the reason why the movie is going to be a massive flop.
I wonder if the 9 yr old Jonno really did think "There is a performer owning his space" when he saw him live. "Owning the space" sounds very 2024, not 2001.
@joneslive586 I suppose what I'm trying to say there is that it's like if I went to the shop and the shop keeper asks me if I wanted to buy some chocolate, someone asks me what happened there and I say that the Universe presented me with a chocolate bar. it's pointlessly dramatic, pretentious and very silly really. I am creating the idea that the entire universe is bending to me being hungry for a sugary snack.
All entertainers are spiritual like that..when you reach a certain level in your life you understand where is coming from and it's not about religion by the way..life teaches that by awareness.
It’s about time Robbie let it go, he’s constantly bringing it up, Gary had a rough time too thanks partly to Robbie but he doesn’t constantly go on about it
Robbie Williams didn't have to tell his story. Is he throwing people under the bus to get more fame? It's not really therapy is it. You can do therapy behind closed doors. Making it public is narcissistic.
Lol, if all the people commenting "You can't tell you won't like a film w/o seeing it, you have to give it a chance," actually practiced what they're preaching, then they'd watch every single film that came out... which I somehow doubt they do. I'm skipping it myself, since the poorly made Hollywood flopbusters of recent years have given me a low tolerance for obvious and superfluous CGI.
The people who watched this movie are already fans. I have no desire to watch it, I feel saturated with Williams telling his story and he hasn’t been relevant for over 20 years. But if this floats your boat, enjoy it.
I went to watch the movie with someone who is not a Robbie fan, someone, who likes his music but not him and me liking his stuff but never going to his concerts. All 3 of us enjoyed the film. There was laughter. There were sad points. One of my friends said that he came out of the film liking Robbie less but understanding him more, which is understandable.

@@cuzza4321It’s a biopic with a storyline to follow. There’s already a documentary on Netflix for all the stuff that you’re asking about.
I cried wayyyyy tooo much watching this movie. I loved it so much!
same
Glad I wasn't the only one
I just saw it (because is sounded really weird). It was brilliant and emotional... not at all what i expected. Ill be recommending it to everyone i know.
Was brilliant mate

It was amazing. And totally agree the chimp works. Its great.

Same here. I especially couldn't get the sound of the kid singing "Feel" out of my head and my conscious
I felt exactly the same way. I've always loved Robbie! ❤️
Loved it. Watch it twice now

I love Robbie and hope that this film is a big success just for his sake.
Robbie’s gratitude is lovely!
Robbie my Robbie🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I went to see this because of how weird it looked in trailers and I loved it!
Great interview. Great film. Worth seeing even if you were not into the music.
Watched the movie here in Australia, absolutely brilliant..
Saw the movie, loved it, different and I'll be seeing it again ❤
Brilliant film, I went to see it the other day and was blown away. Go see it while it’s still on!
I love Gary Barlow mood, he is humble I think ❤, of course all Take That,... I'll hope see this movie in my country... Congrats Robie 🎉❤
I watched the movie last night and cried like a little girl it was so emotional
I watched the movie and it was great. I love his music love his energy also listen to his tunes at work while cooking and my favorite songs are she's the one and come undone.
It’s absolutely fantastic loved it
It absolutely is my favourite film of the year.
Fab movie,just watched it
Great idea for a Biopic.
Robbies gone full Robbie in this interview.
Gosto do Robbie como pessoa...acho ele muito autêntico e sincero. Que Deus o abençoe!
Really excited to see it. I think Robbie as a chimpanzee makes perfect sense. Lovely to see him talking so openly too.
Loved this
Awesome movie massive respect ☃️
I actually did. A different energy from Robbie and loved to see the guy that playñed him, for him to be seen.
Brilliant.
Love Robbie ❤
I really enjoyed it
Phew, Whatta movie!!! ❤
movie is lowkey a masterpiece
Thankfully the two of them have grown up now, they are not these cocky petulant teenagers anymore and they acknowledge that like proper adults, unlike some of their American counterparts (Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds) who still think they are in high school.
Saw Better Man today … thought it was great
Loved this movie so much.
Jono Davies was amazing.
The guy beside Robbie looks like Keven Bridges handsome brother.
Johnno Coleman?
I'm a life long massive Robbie fan, his music got me into singing and I just adore him. Been to see the movie this evening, absolutely loved the story but the monkey thing didn't work for me.

firstly queen biopic was awful, the monkey gimmick makes perfect sense for the character.
I loved the movie and thought the monkey worked if another actor played him I don’t think it would have but appreciate your point of view
I wonder if the 9 yr old Jonno really did think "There is a performer owning his space" when he saw him live. "Owning the space" sounds very 2024, not 2001.
Didn't Netflix do this story already
Not all of it.
Is this a spoof?😂
he does feel it doesnt it? this jonno bloke is pretending to be an actor in an interview
No, it's real, and it is brilliant!
I thought the film was brilliant
It flopped
Why is he wearing pyjamas
He lost me at 'when the universe asks you'.
Sounds like a you problem… nothing much wrong with spirituality.
You need to go think a bit deeper then my friend
@joneslive586 I suppose what I'm trying to say there is that it's like if I went to the shop and the shop keeper asks me if I wanted to buy some chocolate, someone asks me what happened there and I say that the Universe presented me with a chocolate bar. it's pointlessly dramatic, pretentious and very silly really.

@crwonshe and where is 'it' coming from? And what is 'it' if it's not religion?
Ive never liked gary barlow. Always thought he was up himself, a real friend would be going to the film no matter how hard
It’s about time Robbie let it go, he’s constantly bringing it up, Gary had a rough time too thanks partly to Robbie but he doesn’t constantly go on about it
Robbie didn't say "Gaz" wouldn't go see it. He literally said they're fine these days.
Gary was so unselfish to debut in a boy band as a singer despite his professional songwriting skills
Robbie Williams didn't have to tell his story. Is he throwing people under the bus to get more fame? It's not really therapy is it. You can do therapy behind closed doors. Making it public is narcissistic.
Robbie was trying to make a point and send a message to the fans.
He actually throws himself under the bus. Go watch it. Then all your questions might be answered. It’s actually a great movie. Very well executed.
Therapy can be done by anyone or independently at any moment.
Many celebrity tell their story, they are not narcissists but trying to help or teach others by saying they are not alone. You judging says it all!
He very, I think the technical term is, “ME ME ME!!!”
What's your spirit animal !???..how are these people allowed to make films
Because they think outside the box, thank god.
Well said.
Tiger
😴
When is he gonna finally come out?
Cheesy and corny showbiz as usual.
What a wasted opportunity. Would have loved to watch but the monkey business is off putting . Its nonsense .
Maybe watch and then judge in an informed way. Comment without watching offers little.
you need to watch it, you forget he is a monkey it is a brilliant film
Watch it and form a real opinion with insight.
How are you judging something you haven’t seen?
Lol, if all the people commenting "You can't tell you won't like a film w/o seeing it, you have to give it a chance," actually practiced what they're preaching, then they'd watch every single film that came out... which I somehow doubt they do. I'm skipping it myself, since the poorly made Hollywood flopbusters of recent years have given me a low tolerance for obvious and superfluous CGI.
Robbie needs to get his Botox and fillers sorted ❤
No he doesn't, I'd rather a man with wrinkles than a iron board
@@ebonyeyes1986 You do realise Robbie's had work done?
Would have been better to do a stone roses one with Ian Brown as the monkey!
Not enough real drama behind the scenes.
enough narcissism already
Will definitely NOT be watching this!
It’s brilliant you will be surprised
Your loss, best film I've seen in years
🥱
This film didn't have to be made
Anything for money
The people who watched this movie are already fans.
I have no desire to watch it, I feel saturated with Williams telling his story and he hasn’t been relevant for over 20 years.
But if this floats your boat, enjoy it.
Im not a fan of robbie. But i loved the movie
