‘Marley’ a long, uplifting journey of reggae legend

By Steve Morse

*** Marley Bob Marley became a reggae music legend, but this film happily does not try to turn him into a saint. It’s a warts-and-all documentary that brings him alive through myriad interviews new and old, while presenting him as a very mortal creature. The archival segments, along with much newly minted footage, keep us intrigued as we follow Marley from a ghetto youth to a Third World superstar. (145 mins., unrated) (Steve Morse)
