Billed as an honest, comprehensive biopic of the king of reggae, Bob Marley, "Bob Marley: One Love" has its successes, but it's not his supercut of the greatest hit tracks.
Footprints in the Sand
This movie is at its best when it comes to music. The movie offers strong, solid, and honest live performances; the musicians energise the listeners through the fascinating portrayal of the life of the main figure, Bob Marley. (His characteristic screams of exhaustion and hymns by the Wailers, his accompanying band, are fantastic for reggae fans around the world. )
The soundtrack is like the very soul of the film that catapults the audiences back in time to when the days of reggae were the golden age and Marley was the poster child of the movements around music.

Renewing Spirit and Deeper Interconnectivity:
Marley's music carries messages of peace, love, and unity that identify with people in different countries and eras. There are times when the movie unfolds the personal profile of Bob.
Lashana Lynch's picture of Rita Marley reveals her and the couple's happy combination as well as the communicated connection they shared. These peeks, however, come and go abruptly. Thus, they create a sense of incomplete information about the man behind the music.
A Missed Opportunity for Depth:
Still, "Bob Marley: One Love" lacks the contents, and it does not really present the full story. It goes on portraying the essential incidents in Marley's life, moving away from the topics of his political activism and religiosity in his Rastafarian faith. Things like these were the core of Marley's music and also gave him a large influence.
With the rapid jumps, head-to-head transitions, and inadequate explanation of these majors, there is a sense of incompleteness for the viewer. Moreover, the biopic genre is made up of clichés and predictable plotlines, which impedes the film from providing a newer viewpoint about Marley's life and legacy to the audience.
A Recommendation with Reservations:
"Bob Marley: One Love" plucks the heartstrings of the casual audience with its journey through Marley's greatest hits. The jukebox musical part and the vigorous music of the film are both very effective. Conversely, any viewers who wish to see a less superficial take on Bob Marley, both the man and his challenging music, might be unhappy with the movie.
If you are not fond of superficial accounts and are indistinct with Marley's life as well as with his motivating environment, you should obviously turn off the doco. It is a high-quality basic one to involve newcomers or remembrance of his musical magnificence; however, it still loses the integral aspect of the reggae superstar's life.
