Jim Schembri, 3AW
Outstanding, thorough, often moving documentary about the tragically short life and huge influence of musician Bob Marley... by any fair measure, a great music documentary.

Andrew L. Urban, Urban Cinefile
Macdonald and his editor have built a collage that really communicates in vibrant, cinematic language. Of course, it is about a musician, so rightly, it is wall to wall music

Brad Wheeler, Globe and Mail
Marley is highly watchable, finely crafted legacy preservation - and it's either a white-washed sham or awesomely shaded.

Peter Howell, Toronto Star
It wants to show us the man behind the famous dreads, beatific smile and durable songs of love, hope and longing. In this task it succeeds admirably.
