Better Man is a 2024 biographical musical film co-written, produced and directed by Michael Gracey about the life of English singer Robbie Williams. Williams is portrayed as an anthropomorphic chimpanzee with computer-generated imagery (CGI), performed by Jonno Davies using motion capture, and voiced by both Williams and Davies. Steve Pemberton, Kate Mulvany, Alison Steadman, and Damon Herriman also star.
Better Man premiered at the 51st Telluride Film Festival on 30 August 2024, and was released in the United States on 25 December 2024 and in Australia and the United Kingdom the following day. The film received positive reviews from critics, won nine AACTA Awards, including Best Film, and was nominated for Best Visual Effects at the Academy Awards, Critics' Choice Awards, BAFTA Film Awards, and Visual Effects Society Awards. It was a box-office bomb,[a] having grossed $20.3 million on a $110 million budget.
