Bob Marley: One Love's reviews
Media reviews
The Hollywood Reporter
[Ben-Adir] wholly conjures Marley\'s charisma while also teasing the musician\'s sense of isolation, stemming from a childhood marked by abandonment. His compelling performance enlivens a film that otherwise feels like it\'s perpetually struggling to take off.
El País
It may appeal to fans of more conventional biopics. Marley's imposing personality and the musical, social and political vigour of his songs come to the film's rescue.
Variety
The point of the new biopic mode was to reveal totemic figures in a more complex way. "One Love" flirts with complexity but slides into the banality of hero worship.
Indiewire
Plods through an inert, and-then-this-happened structure that neglects to illuminate or entertain. It\'s watchable only because of performances from Kingsley Ben-Adir and Lashana Lynch, who admirably attempt to imbue Bob and Rita Marley, respectively, with genuine life absent from the rest of the film.
El Periódico
It is dedicated to celebrating Bob Marley's creative genius while shying away from any controversial or debatable aspects of his life or character.
