I read a good article about it - will find it again and link.
What I like is it’s set over a 2 year period of his life, around the attempted assassin and his exodus, so not the whole life story.
When we went to the One Love stage show when it was on in London we had trepidation but loved it, so definitely going to give this a chance.

I really hope this is good. The kids want to watch it too but I don't think it's been given a certificate yet?

Bob Marley: One Love review – reverential biopic of reggae superstar struggles to stir it up
With Marley’s family on board, this officially-approved life story serves up the hits but skirts some big questions
Bob Marley: One Love is yet another watered-down celebrity biopic – review
British actor Kingsley Ben-Adir is certainly magnetic in the role of the reggae icon, but there is almost too much control to his performance – and no sense of a musician becoming lost and liberated in his music

Review: 'Bob Marley: One Love' doesn't stir
“Bob Marley: One Love” is a noble but uninspired attempt to capture some of the essence of a monumental musical force
‘Bob Marley: One Love’: Review
Kingsley Ben-Adir portrays the iconic reggae musician in this underpowered biopic

‘Bob Marley: One Love’ Review: Kingsley Ben-Adir Inhabits the Reggae Legend in a Music Biopic That’s Anything but Revolutionary
Kingsley Ben-Adir Inhabits the reggae legend in a biopic that misses the catharsis of Marley's rise and never quite figures out his journey.

I've come to realise that artist biopics can't really win. Especially when the makers are protecting a reputation or ensuring the film does nothing to negatively impact the family estate. Given the family have producer credits, i doubt anything that might upset them is going to be part of the story, so any portrayal is already compromised. Biopics can end up being little more than West End Stage shows with a more expensive cast.

The family being involved is never going to work tbh.
Any decent biopics? Raging Bull definitely but apart from that?

Sports biopics tend to be a bit more warts 'n' all. Music biopics always try to cover up or reduce the impacts of some bad behaviours. They don't want to mess up any royalties. Sports folk who have had their day ain't earners for anyone anymore are they? They can just tell it.
I loved The Birth of the Beatles.

Watched the film this afternoon, thought it was good. Nice to see a flashback to them convincing Coxsone Dodd to record Simmer Down. Thought Kingsley was a good lead.

I read a review which listed the (imho significant) historical inaccuracies in it, which just made me think of the horrible Queen / Freddie Mercury movie which I had to turn off halfway as it was just too wrong. Such a shame. A truly historically accurate film of Bob Marley would be fascinating.

Whilst I will watch pretty much any music documentary/biopic there is literally not a single person connected to reggae who I wouldn't much rather watch a film about than Bob Marley.
"Strongback", who lifted speaker boxes for Iration Steppas? Count me in.
Limonious, who did rude artwork for dancehall album covers? Get the popcorn.
All the one hit wonder singers, who got ripped off and then went back to being fishermen? Yes please.
Bob? Not so much.

I thought he was great as Malcolm X in One Night in Miami.

I saw this at the weekend. I found it really boring and vague.

same. reviews put me off and i too have disturbing memories about that queen film too.
i’m not fan of Queen but had a couple of fully grown men were crying in the audience half way though. it was a terrible film too. i see why mass shootings happen often in US cinemas now. good job we can’t get guns easily otherwise i’d be incarcerated and wanting to break free,
