"Bob Marley: One Love Biopic Fails to Catch Fire in Reviews"

TL;DR Summary
"Bob Marley: One Love" follows the new biopic trend by focusing on a crucial time period in the reggae superstar's life, but the film's haphazard approach fails to fully capture Marley's rise and the power of reggae as an art form. While Kingsley Ben-Adir's portrayal of Marley is captivating, the movie's scattered storytelling and lack of compelling structure result in a portrayal that falls short of revealing the complexity of the iconic musician. Despite touching on various aspects of Marley's life, "One Love" ultimately struggles to move beyond the banality of hero worship.
