I miss Roger Ebert quite a lot. Thanks for the link to the review.
I think I saw it on telly ages ago I recall was good craic ... but ofc it had subtitles Gah!- pain in the back brainnever seen it, as a movie is it any good? (not all Criterion releases should be touted as classics .. )
The trailer made it look pretty bad. I guess that was truth in advertising!I watched the Bob Marley biop ONE LOVE last night which is currently streaming on MGM+ in DD 5.1 and was mightily disappointed. It was akin to watching half a movie, IMO. It focused on only 2 years of his life leaving out vital info about his past .... how he was fathered by a caucasian British naval officer and how his mom, ashamed of his being a 'half breed' forced him to sleep under the house when she remarried. All this was glossed over. I did think Kingsley Ben~Adir who played Marley did a spectacular job of embodying the essence of Marley and the rest of the cast was excellent but I agree with the critics that BOB MARLEY ONE LOVE should've been much better.

Due to a very poor script and bad direction, I did think watching the entire flick that actor Kingsley Ben~Adir did a pretty remarkable job. And he actually is better looking than Marley ever was which might throw a lot of viewers off! Ben~Adir also portrayed Malcolm X in ONE NIGHT IN MIAMI ......IMO, he's a very solid actor.This guy doesn’t remotely make me think of Bob Marley!

One of AmazonUS' FLASH SALES??????

Wow, number one best-seller in movies, 700 pre-orders already with lowest price guarantee.
I became acquainted with Tarnovsky from my Criterion Channel subscription, but never saw this one.
His original version of Stanislaw Lem's sci-fi story Solaris from 1971, which was re-made in English starring George Clooney, is a trip.

I haven't seen this one yet, but at that price I didn't have to think about it very long.
