It just seemed a bit hollow and lacking for me. I enjoyed the musical aspects of One Love, but overall the story leaves a lot on the vine. I really do not feel like I learned anything new about Bob Marley as a person nor did I feel enlightened by this story. I really felt Kingsley Ben-Adir did a great job as Bob Marley, that was until the very end and they played clips of the real Bob Marley. It was only then that I realized how much he did not resemble Bob Marley and did not capture his … ummmmm… essence I guess you can say. Which I would imagine would be a tall task for anyone, but hey this is the Hood Review, so it is what it is. Overall with what was given the cast did good. Lashana Lynch nailed her role as Rita Marley. Which was the real bright spot of the movie. But although One Love feels like it barely scratches the surface of what Mr. Marley was about and his life in general. The movie was overall enjoyable and a good watch.
