Bob Marley: One Love 2024 Movie Review Trailer

 In recent years, Hollywood biographical dramas, once considered campy but irresistible, have become a mature and popular art form. This transformation, dating back to films like “Capote” and “Lincoln” and continuing through “Oppenheimer,” involves a shift away from the traditional cradle-to-grave approach to storytelling. Instead, filmmakers focus on pivotal moments in a person's life, allowing for deeper exploration and authenticity.

“Bob Marley: One Love,” a drama centered on the iconic reggae superstar, fervently embraces these new biographical conventions. Set in 1976, the film captures Bob Marley (played by Kingsley Ben-Adir) at the peak of his fame, preparing for a peace concert in Kingston amid the turmoil of Jamaican politics. 

Director: Reinaldo Marcus Green
Writers: Terence Winter, Frank E. Flowers, Zach Baylin
Stars: Kingsley Ben-Adir, James Norton, Lashana Lynch

Despite his efforts to unite a divided nation, Marley becomes the target of violence when gunmen attack him and his wife, Rita (played by Lashana Lynch), just before the concert.


Directed by Reinaldo Marcus Green (“King Richard”), “One Love” follows Marley’s life over the next two years as he seeks refuge in London. Despite facing discrimination and legal issues, Marley continues to create music, reconnect with his band, and reflect on his global impact.


While the period covered in the film offers rich material for exploration, “One Love” falls short in certain ways. It ignores Marley's initial rise in Jamaica and the evolution of reggae as an art form, choosing instead to focus on his later years. This omission leaves audiences longing for a deeper understanding of Marley's cultural significance.


Kingsley Ben-Adir gives a captivating performance as Marley, capturing his charisma and complexity. However, the film's disjointed narrative and lack of focus prevent it from fully addressing the topic. Despite touching on various aspects of Marley's life, including his passion for football and his health problems, “One Love” fails to offer a coherent depiction of his journey.


Overall, while “One Love” offers glimpses into Marley's life, it ultimately fails to capture the depth and complexity of the subject. Despite standout performances, particularly from Lashana Lynch as Rita, the film struggles to transcend the pitfalls of conventional biopics and ultimately feels more like a tribute than a nuanced exploration of Marley's legacy.
