    I saw this on the last day of 2024. Ten days later, I still think it's the best film of 2024. I'm American and had never heard of Robbie Williams. Doesn't matter. this is a great film. Best film musical I've seen in many decades. I'm so glad that you liked it too!

    Robbie is huge all over the world except for USA which is strange, he still pulls HUGE audiences here in Australia, much loved for his straight talk. I saw this film yesterday, Im 65 and I love it

    All the reviews seem very positive.
    They gambled but it looks like it paid off, I’m intrigued. I haven’t been to the cinema in a very long time and the fact that a biopic film of Robbie Films as a Chimpanzee may make me go again was certainly unforeseen.

    You've made me even more excited for this flick than I was before. Reading great reviews from film festival critics led me to the excellent 4-part Netflix docu-series Robbie Williams. That made me a brand new fan who has discovered a treasure trove of performances, interviews & videos from the past 30+ yrs on YT! He is a spectacular entertainer & songwriter that has been mostly hidden from Americans all this time. Hopefully this film will inspire interest from the U.S. in his phenomenal career!

    I am big big Take That fan, still today. They are still huge and crushing #1s everytime they release new music, and I saw them (for the millionth time) in Malta for a special event they did there 2 months ago. All this is to say I know *a lot* about them and Robbie, and let me tell you, this movie is so detailed. Of course they had to bend some realities and for example placing something that it really happened in a different setting or whatever. But it was all true down to the tiny details.
    A silly non spoilery example: when Robbie sees Gary's butler and says now he thinks he's Elton John.
    Looks just like a silly line. But it's actually true: Gary has admitted many times (in his book for example) that when they became friends with Elton, Gary took him as his inspiration on how to live his new rich life. And he actually hired a butler cause he saw Elton having one.
    This movie is so detailed, there is no scene or line which is just random.
