Critics Consensus

Kingsley Ben-Adir does an admirable job in the central role, but Bob Marley: One Love is ultimately a standard biopic that doesn't do justice to its brilliant subject.

Audience Says

Bob Marley: One Love is a moving glimpse into a brief period of the singer's life, especially for viewers who don't already know a lot about him.

Kermode and Mayo's Take (YouTube)

The character is not complex here, the character here is really very heroic and very admirable... the issue with that is, that the feature film has a blandness at its heart that I actually don't think was part of the story.

Breakfast All Day

For all the music in it, I don't think you get a real feel for [Bob Marley's] creative process.

Rated: 4/10

Loud and Clear Reviews

"Bob Marley: One Love is a fairly predictable biopic that rarely deviates from the genre’s formula but delivers its message well."

Rated: 3/5

Stilted and scattershot biopic, which fails to communicate just what made him such an icon or why he is still so cherished more than 40 years after his death.

Rated: 2/5

The film was alright. I think they could’ve done way better representing Bob Marley’s life and legacy, and done it in a lot more fashionable and favorable way. This movie felt like a patchwork and money grab. It didn’t solidly capture the foundational story of the legend we know and love as Bob Marley and why he became an iconic figure in pop culture and history. It just felt thrown together.

Great to see your iconic story being told of a legend however, the story had plot holes and a storyline felt rush and it felt one-sided Rita Marley side.
