Biopic Better Man has shot up the trending charts after being added to Prime Video.
The movie, which premiered in cinemas last year, tells the story of Robbie Williams and his rise to fame – though takes the unique approach of having the singer portrayed as a chimpanzee.
After being recently released on Prime Video, Better Man has proved an immediate hit, becoming the second most-watched movie in the UK and Ireland.
The film largely drew acclaim, sitting at a high 89% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes, with Newsday calling it "truly original", while Time Out said it was "totally enthralling".
In Digital Spy's five-star review at the time of its cinema release, we said it was "one of the best movies of the year".

"During Better Man, you'll come to the realisation that there really was no other way to tell the story of Robbie Williams," we added. "He might appear on screen as a chimpanzee, but the movie is just as irreverent and self-aware, while still being honest and emotional, as the star himself."
Despite the acclaim, the movie was less successful at the box office, making only $22.5 million worldwide off a budget of $110 million.
Jonno Davies takes on the role of chimp Williams (in motion capture), while the movie also features Gavin & Stacey's Alison Steadman and Inside No 9's Steve Pemberton.

Speaking to DS last year, Williams compared Better Man to therapy, revealing: "People walk up to me after the screenings and there are floods of tears and they commend me on my bravery which I don't get at all, but thank you.
"I know that this is, separate to all of the commercial reasons, therapy. I also know because I've witnessed it in some sort of way. It does some sort of healing, which is also great."
Better Man is available to stream now for Prime Video subscribers.
