Review of Marley

Marley (2012)
7/10
Enjoyable
3 November 2020
This documentary exposes the life and music of reggae master, Bob Marley.

After the first half hour of this film, it seemed to lag a bit. This was worrisome as the total film length is 2.5 hours. However, it recovered itself quite well and became an enjoyable experience. This is mainly due to the likeability of the interviewees - most of whom knew Marley, including some members of his extended families. One exception was his smug lawyer in one snippet.

The wonderful historical footage also shows much about Jamaican culture, unscrupulous record companies (perhaps a redundant term), and great concert footage of the 60s and 70s.

A fine experience overall. - dbamateurcritic
