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.
