There’s a Great Movie to Be Made About Bob Marley. One Love Is Not It.


You’ll leave knowing less about Marley than you did going in.

The picture gives us a small but pivotal slice of Marley’s career from the attempt on his life in 1976 to the period he spent abroad in its wake, recording Exodus in London and the subsequent world tour that saw reggae music become a major international phenomenon. The filmmakers (director Reinaldo Marcus Green and his co-writers, Terence Winter, Frank E. Flowers, and Zach Baylin) have clearly done the work of sifting through Marley’s life and finding choice nuggets to put onscreen. In London, we catch extremely brief background glimpses of Cindy Breakspeare (Umi Myers), the Jamaican beauty queen with whom Bob had a lengthy love affair.
