Robbie Williams

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 just finished and have truly enjoyed it. It is extremely rare for people in the spotlight to be this real, this authentic. And it is a reminder to never judge books by their cover - however shiny they seem. This is footage and tellings of someone young - too young perhaps - that experienced the dark side to the dream. British media bullying. Anxiety. Depression. It's honest and human. We see footage collected over the years, unseen and raw. With the purpose of building a documentary one day. And Robbie watching it for the first time, guiding us through it. A born entertainer yes, but one that has felt alone and fighting addiction throughout. I often found myself wondering how I'd respond to 'younger me' archives. It must be incredibly hard, therapeutic, strange and beautiful all at the same time. Watch it. Worth the time.

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.

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.

You can call it ego, self-centred or whatever you like but there is no denying RWs had a presence, swagger and X factor that so many artists just don't have.

To live that life you need the beans to pull it off. He's made mistakes, and at times, I've found him annoying but the fact still remains, he entertains, has an edginess and realism about him.

This documentary can be interpreted in a number of ways, some good, some bad but it's an insight into what appears to be an honest account and he comes across well.

There is no denying his life has caused him trauma which is a familiar story with fame isn't it. Personally, I enjoyed it and could watch it again.
