Giving this an 7.5/10 rating

Watched, Madam Web, on the same day, before I watched this, and this is how films should be, good and entertaining, and most importantly, well directed, unlike Madam Web was.

Kingsley Ben-Adir is really brilliant as Bob Marley and Lashana Lynch as Rita Marley, devours her role, James Norton is the backbone somewhat and the link thought the picture, nice work from him. The other link is 'Anthony Welsh, is doing a fine job, along with Gawaine 'J-Summa' Campbell, great work too. All the actors are very, very good.

Of course it's the music drives the film, and it's very lovely, as is the general message, love and peace, this is the major force in the perfect run time and flow and great direction by Reinaldo Marcus Green, he show how it should be done. Terence Winter, Frank E. Flowers and Zach Baylin have done a good job with not covering Bob's whole life, but doing a certain point of it, it's spot on in the route they took with this biopic.

A good Valentine Day film, even though it's tragic, I think it's the right film, on the right day, worth the trip, as I did not know much about Bob Marley myself, and it's good that his family is very much involved in this, so it's not sweet and smells of Roses, it has the light and the dark, and it's enjoyable.
