The crowd sourced encyclopedia's article on the film, read directly for this entry. Its strength is a well referenced production and content record: director, premiere and release dates, distributors, runtime, and a detailed account of the film's treatment of Marley's conversion to Rastafari. Its limit is that it is not independently peer reviewed, so it is cited here for corroborated production and content detail rather than for aggregated critical judgment, which the Rotten Tomatoes source supplies instead.

Reliability Tier3
Wikipedia's article on the film Marley is a crowd sourced tertiary encyclopedic source, hence the lower tier, though useful here for its well referenced production and content record, including its treatment of Marley's conversion to Rastafari. NotesRead directly. Cited for the film's director, Kevin Macdonald; its February 12, 2012 premiere at the Berlin International Film Festival and April 20, 2012 general release, distributed by Magnolia Pictures in the United States and Universal Pictures in the United Kingdom, running 145 minutes; its production with the cooperation of the Marley family through Tuff Gong Pictures among other production companies; its documentation of Marley's friendship with Rastafari preacher Mortimer Planno and his conversion to the faith, including his belief that Emperor Haile Selassie I of Ethiopia is the returned Christ, illustrated with 1966 archival footage of Selassie's visit to Jamaica; and Bunny Wailer's public criticism that the film underplays Rastafari's significance in Marley's life, including his boycott of the film's Jamaican premiere.
