The past 18 months have produced an abundance of celebrity documentaries, but Netflix’s newly released “Robbie Williams” sets out to do something different. Charting Williams’ rise from clueless teenager in British mega-boy band Take That to solo superstar, there’s no talking heads and no glossing over the less salubrious moments in Williams’ 35-year-career, including his relationships, drug-taking and depression.
Director Joe Pearlman, the filmmaker behind last year’s “Harry Potter” reunion and Netflix’s recent Lewis Capaldi documentary, set out to make a series about Williams confronting his extraordinary life head-on. Eschewing traditional documentary formats, the four-part show sees Williams interviewed, mostly in bed, while watching archive footage stretching back three decades.
“We did an initial interview and Rob gave a brilliant interview but it was an interview I’d heard before,” Pearlman says. “We were like, there’s so much more here. We’ve seen the footage, we...

"Raw. Honest. Real." Netflix has revealed a first look teaser trailer for their next musician doc series called Robbie Williams, which is obviously about the singer-songwriter Robbie Williams. So many docs from the music industry, it's pretty much just a part of their marketing & promotion packages nowadays. Despite good talent being involved on the filmmaking side! This four-part documentary series goes behind the eyes of the biggest UK solo artist of all time, Robbie Williams. Featuring hundreds of hours of intimate, never-before-seen personal archive spanning 30 years, by an acclaimed filmmaking team including director Joe Pearlman and Asif Kapadia as an executive producer. Not everyone in the US may be a big fan of Robbie, because: His discography includes seven UK No. 1 singles, and all but one of his 14 studio albums have reached No. 1 in the UK. Though not in the US. Six of his albums are among the top 100 biggest-selling albums in the UK,...

I haven’t got to the point where any of this feels normal to me yet,” says Lewis Capaldi. He points out that we’re speaking “six years, to the day” since he released his first single, “Bruises”, which quickly racked up 28 million plays on Spotify, making the Glaswegian the fastest unsigned artist to reach 25 million streams on the platform. The following year he wrote a song about the loss of his grandmother – “Someone You Loved” – that would be streamed a staggering 2.8 billion times.
Now “Forget Me” – the lead single from his second album, Broken by Desire to Be Heavenly Sent – has turned platinum in the UK, and he’s still finding his success “just... pfffft... just f***ing bizarre, y’know? I don’t think it will ever feel normal.”

Lewis Capaldi has always wanted to sing. Ballads like “Someone You Loved” and “Before You Go,” which show off his powerful voice and heart-wrenching lyrics, made the Scottish artist a household name over the last few years — but fame and success haven’t been easy for him. His new documentary How I’m Feeling Now, directed by Joe Pearlman, offers an inside look at Capaldi’s career and sheds light on the the personal battles he’s faced while trying to finish his long-awaited second album.

About halfway through Joe Pearlman’s “Lewis Capaldi: How I’m Feeling Now,” the Scottish pop star sets about crafting his second album. As he takes us into his songwriting process, he all but winks at the camera before walking through the ways this sort of thing tends to play out in other music documentaries: he’ll write the song, huff and puff over if it will be a hit, and we’ll suddenly fast-forward to a year later, when he’ll be playing the now-massive hit to sold-out crowds. Capaldi waits a beat. So does the film. Oh, no cutting ahead to the inevitable success? Ha! Back to the grind, it is.
It’s one of many self-referential moments in a film filled with them, in a life filled with them, as Capaldi’s incredible sense of self-awareness are appealing to even those unfamiliar with his work. Capaldi gets it,...

While some of this documentary following the making of the Scottish songwriter’s second album falls into cliched soul-baring territory, Capaldi’s wit and talent shine through
‘A global pandemic is only in the top three weird things that have happened to me in the last three years,” Lewis Capaldi notes at the start of this generically made but nonetheless startling Netflix documentary about his rise. After years strumming in Scottish pubs and clubs, his raw piano ballad Bruises went viral and lift-off was vertical: his debut album became the biggest seller in the UK in both 2019 and 2020, and its single Someone You Loved, a seven-week chart topper in the UK, made him the first Scottish solo artist to reach US No 1 since Sheena Easton in 1981.

Lewis Capaldi needs to reconnect with his roots. In the announcement video for his upcoming Netflix documentary How I’m Feeling Now, the Scottish musician cycles through a number of identities, cosplaying as the streaming platform’s greatest hits. One moment he’s vying for the hand of a duke like a Bridgerton character and in the next, he’s a strategic Squid Game contestant. In another, he’s Joe Exotic in Tiger King and the moody Wednesday Addams in Wednesday.
The documentary will hopefully clear up any confusion about who Capaldi really is.

Scottish musical sensation Lewis Capaldi is the subject of a feature-length documentary directed by BAFTA winner Joe Pearlman (“Bros: After the Screaming Stops”) and produced by Pulse Films. The film will be shopped to buyers at the Cannes virtual market by Independent Entertainment.
The 24-year-old Capaldi has enjoyed a meteoric rise to fame over the past 36 months, earning a Grammy nomination and Brit award for his debut single “Someone You Loved,” in addition to a second Brit for best new artist, and selling out an arena tour before he’d even released his debut album.
It’s a stark contrast to his life just three years ago, when he was still carrying his own gear while performing in Scottish bars and pubs. The film follows Capaldi over a five-year period, from a global headline tour to returning to his parents’ home in Scotland to start work on his sophomore album.

HeyUGuys has to confess, we didn’t know what to expect when we sat down with the brothers Bros to talk about their new documentary, After The Screaming Stops.
The film follows the pair on a journey from their day jobs in California and Nevada to the stage of the O2, while reminiscing about their four years in the late 80s/ early 90s atop the music charts.
The thing is, the documentary is funny. Really funny. And it’s not entirely clear if the Goss brothers are in on the joke. With Matt delivering a seemingly never-ending slew of mixed metaphors, the doc’s co-directors, Joe Pearlman and David Soutar, clearly knew they had something special on their hands, whether the brothers realised it or not.
Fortunately, we discovered the pair, while not entirely aware of the comedic slant at the time of filming, have taken the documentary in good spirit.

“H…O…M…E….those letters are incredibly important. They are… the personification of home.”
There’s something about former boyband legend Matt Goss. It could be his enduring, striking looks, replete with that wisp of blonde hair and those piercing eyes we were so accustomed to seeing, staring out from newsagent shelves from the covers of Smash Hits or Just 17.
Or perhaps it’s his thoughtfulness, as exhibited in Joe Pearlman and David Soutar’s documentary about the reformation of 1980s hit factory, Bros.
In truth, it’s all of the above the makes Matt Goss so watchable. Particularly his astonishing turn of phrase, delivering unique metaphors (the directors would later refer to them as Matt-isms) with alarming regularity.
The co-directors join Goss in the Us, where he evidently likes to stare pensively across the Vegas skyline (at least when he’s not performing on stage at The Mirage). Meanwhile,...

The final wave of programming for Fantastic Fest has been unveiled and the lineup features Jonah Hill’s directorial debut MID90S, the U.S. premiere of David Robert Mitchell’s La noir Under the Silver Lake starring Andrew Garfield and the fest’s closing night pic, Drew Goddard’s star-studded Bad Times at the El Royale.
As the bookend to this year’s fest, El Royale stars Jeff Bridges, Chris Hemsworth, Jon Hamm, Dakota Johnson, and Cynthia Erivo in a mystery thriller about seven strangers, each with a secret to bury, that meet at Lake Tahoe’s El Royale, a rundown hotel with a dark past. Over the course of one fateful night, everyone will have a last shot at redemption — before everything goes to hell.
Fantastic Fest will also feature Karyn Kusama’s noir thriller Destroyer starring Nicole Kidman and the North American Premiere of Terry Gilliam’s long-awaited...
