Robbie Williams

The peak of Robbie William's career, according to the artist himself, was 2003 in Knebworth. After seeing this documentary, I'd agree. Three nights in August of 2003. The peak wasn't that long and the road up and down and around the peak is portrayed in just the right length in this 4-part documentary. Any longer and I would have probably stopped watching . I didn't follow his career, I wasn't at Knebworth or any of his concerts, but I can appreciate the story and arc of his career from age 16 to present day. The life of a pop star is a roller coaster ride just higher highs and lower lows than the rest of us. But Peak Robbie Williams as a human being is not on stage but came much later, in finding purpose.

Oh Robbie I just want to give you a big hug 🤗 The British press are evil they ruin peoples lives it's just so heartbreaking watching the story of how they broke Robbie down.

He is a true entertainer who has spanned years and years from Take That to forge such an amazing solo career.

You either love him or hate him the ones who hate I feel have been swayed by the British tabloids who want to tear him down because he's so good.

Ayda what a shining light she is in his life to help him out of the dark tunnel he was heading in to.

The reunion between him and Take that was a beautiful moment to have seen on screen

Loved the documentary and for all you people saying he's a narcissist do you even understand why his documentary is filmed this way 10/10 for me highly recommend.

The first time I saw Robbie Williams on my television, it was on MTV, I was six years old and my mother didn't allow me to watch that video of him taking his skin off. Any time I would see that music video happening on my television, I would lower the volume so my mother wouldn't hear that I was listening to Rock DJ and imitating Williams dancing. At that young age, both the video and the song caught my attention too much. For my birthday that same year, I asked my parents if they could give me as a gift the album where I could listen to Rock DJ, so that way I wouldn't need to wait for MTV to play it every time.

Sing When You're Winning was my very first album. Robbie Williams was my very first favorite musician.

I'm telling this story because here I am, watching this documentary. I am almost thirty years old, and I'm seeing not only how they made one of my favorite songs, but I am seeing how it was made, and a version of Robbie Williams that I never saw before.

We as his fans were given the opportunity to have a look at a much private and never seen before footage of what Robbie went through. Robbie opens the door to the memories of his youth, his early career, his fears and anxiety, his addictions and his journey until today, and it feels as if he was taking off his skin, once again.

I did not know that this documentary was coming out, but I'm grateful for it. And I think my mother will now allow me to watch it.

Those scoring this 1 star because he was 'narcissistic' completely misunderstand how open and forthcoming he was in the making of this documentary.

I was never a fan of Take That and same with Robbie. A gf dragged me reluctantly to a show he performed in Sydney and wow he blew me away despite my love for much harder music. He was the ultimate entertainer and I'd never seen a crowd so obsessed - of course I wasn't around during The Beatles era.

Amazing to see him look back so honestly on periods of his life - his fame, his addictions, his mental breakdowns, his regrets, his loves and so on.

Definitely recommend this and ignore the haters - of which he had many (including me in my insecure days)

I am genuinely disappointed how tainted some people are in their view of this piece. Disgruntled Take That fans that seemingly still haven't grown beyond that petty fight of the past. Whereas all the band members are way past that.

This journey that Robbie has allowed us to embark on with him seemed quite surreal to me. I've grown up listening to his music, and seeing each song on a timeline of his life was quite touching.

Do you have to get every emotion or sentiment he was having? No, this isn't an entertainment show-piece. It's a very raw look into Robbie Williams, his demons, his successes and his failures. What else should he talk about in a documentary about his life?

I really loved the part about him and Guy Chambers. How their relationship developed and created some fantastic music that we still remember today. Also how Rude Box failed, and how after Leeds Robbie had climbed his way back steadily into stardom.

I was glad I saw him live twice this year. He seemed very happy with where he ended up in his life and seeing the final moments of the documentary it was clear that he had found the happy ending to his story.

Overall, this was a very touching and real documentary about an extraordinary star, that is an exceptional singer, a real showman and a genuine person.
