What critics compared Bob Marley: One Love to
Tyhe movie takes a less conventional approach compared to other recent musical biopics about artists like Bob Dylan, A Complete Unknown, or Bob Marley One Love.
Like Bob Marley: One Love did for one small part of Marley’s life, this film zeroes in on the lesser-known period between the albums Born to Run and Born in the U.S.A.
In a year that saw both Amy Winehouse and Bob Marley dutifully yet-tritely rendered unto cinematic form, their lives and legacies packaged neatly and conservatively into the three-act structure…
Like the most tired musician dramas (Bohemian Rhapsody, Bob Marley: One Love, etc.), A Complete Unknown feels like skimming through Dylan’s Wikipedia page.
Like “Bohemian Rhapsody,” which shares a producer with this film, along with “Respect” and “Bob Marley: One Love,” it follows a rigid, overly familiar structure that mistakes chronology for storytelling.
It has, fairly, been compared to Bohemian Rhapsody or the more recent Bob Marley: One Love for presenting surface level depictions of complicated performers.
