Filmmaker Reinaldo Marcus Green has proven his adeptness in biographical storytelling with successes like “King Richard,” which earned Will Smith his inaugural Oscar. Yet, delving into the narrative of one of Jamaica’s most revered figures in “Bob Marley: One Love” presented its own set of challenges, given Marley’s extensive fan base with lofty expectations for his portrayal.
Thankfully, Green enlisted the talents of actor Kingsley Ben-Adir to embody Marley during the pivotal years of 1976 to 1978, while Lashana Lynch portrays his equally iconic wife, Rita Marley. The film chronicles Marley’s pinnacle of fame in Jamaica, juxtaposed with the backdrop of political unrest that ultimately forces him to flee the country following an assassination attempt.
