Read thus if you are sensitive to certain triggers and are considering watching that Robbie Williams film, Better Man

...See more Hey, don't really know if this is really random or not, but i thought id post because I recently went to see this film, and I found that some scenes were relatively triggering (one in particular), and I thought some of you might want a heads up if you want to go see it. If you are considering watchintg Better Man in cinemas (like i just did, still a great film btw) there are a few things throughout that personality bothered me a bit and one scene un particular that messed with me, and I thought I'd let yall know so your not taken by surprised by it like I was. Also, evidently a big spoiler warning/TW because im going to list some things to look out for if your considering watching it xx Razor blades are used constantly throughout the film as an implement to do lines of cocaine with. They are not used to harm anyone in these scenes, and are not on screen for long, but still, if seeing razors bother you like they bother me, just a heads up. There is also a scene I wish I knew about before going to see this as I would have probably left for it. Essentially we see Robbie at the lowest point of his life, and there is an abrupt cut to him cutting his wrists with a razor blade in a suicide attempt. If you think this would bother you or be detrimental for you to see (as it is pretty graphic and abrupt), I would recommend leaving the screen for 5 ish minutes, at the "Let me entertain you" sequence at Knebworth, specificly when (this is gonna sound weird AF out of context) he jumps into the crowd and starts battling it out with the past monkeys. I'd say your last chance to skip that scene is when he stabs the kid version of himself, then leg it tf out of there if you would rather skip the scene. Despite that, I would still recommend the film, it's very good and the cg/performances are stunning, but i thought you deserved to know and not go in completely blind like me xxxxx
