Film 'BETTER MAN' Screens in Indonesia, Inviting Audiences to Dive into the Life of Robbie Williams

KlikFilm once again delights film and music lovers by presenting a special screening of the film BETTER MAN on the big screen in Indonesia. Previously, this film received a warm welcome when it screened at the Jakarta World Cinema 2025 and through the KlikFilm streaming platform. Now, through this exclusive screening, KlikFilm aims to reopen a touching and inspirational cinematic experience for the domestic audience.

The film BETTER MAN is a unique musical biopic that tells the life journey of global superstar Robbie Williams, but with an approach different from typical biographical films. Starring Robbie Williams alongside Nicole Appleton, Jonno Davies, Raechelle Banno, Gary Barlow, and Steve Pemberton, the film explores all phases of the musician's life from childhood, peak popularity, to dark times and profound self-reflection.

"We are very proud to bring this film back through a special screening. We believe that the story of Robbie Williams' struggle will touch many hearts and inspire that everyone can rise and make peace with themselves," said KlikFilm Director Frederica.

In BETTER MAN, viewers are invited to delve into the emotional journey of Robbie Williams since childhood in Stoke-on-Trent, England. The film showcases his simple childhood, the cold relationship with his father Peter (played by Steve Pemberton), and the warm support from his grandmother Betty, who always nurtured Robbie's self-confidence. This is where the journey to the world stage begins.

However, this film does not merely tell the story realistically. BETTER MAN takes a bold symbolic approach, depicting Robbie as an anthropomorphic CGI monkey. This metaphor illustrates how Robbie sees himself as a performing monkey, someone who is always under public pressure to appear perfect, even though he often feels fragile inside.

Robbie's fame did not come without a price. Amidst the success with Take That and a skyrocketing solo career, he had to face alcohol and drug addiction, personal conflicts, and an identity crisis.

Even at the peak of his glory through a grand concert at Knebworth, Robbie was actually at his emotional lowest point. This film honestly reveals the human side of a global star that has long been hidden behind the glitz of the stage.

One of the strengths of BETTER MAN lies in how the film brings to life Robbie Williams' legendary songs like Angels, Let Me Entertain You, and She’s the One, which are rearranged in line with the musician's emotional journey. This musical approach makes every scene feel personal and heart-wrenching.

It is no wonder that BETTER MAN has received international critical acclaim and has won nine AACTA Awards, including Best Film. The film also received a BAFTA nomination for visual effects, affirming the extraordinary quality of its cinematography and depth of story. Through this special screening, KlikFilm opens a new chapter for the best films to be showcased on the big screen in Indonesia, and BETTER MAN serves as the perfect opener.

Interestingly, BETTER MAN now joins the ranks of successful musical biopics worldwide like Bohemian Rhapsody and Rocketman, both of which highlight the vulnerable and human side behind the glittering music industry. With its honesty and bravery, BETTER MAN is not just a film about a pop star, but also a reflection on the human journey to find the meaning of peace and self-acceptance.
