The "One Love Manchester" benefit concert, held just two weeks after the devastating Manchester Arena bombing, was a powerful testament to the city's strength and resilience in the face of tragedy. This live concert, organized by Ariana Grande, brought together a star-studded lineup of performers to raise funds for the victims and their families, and the resulting film is a moving and uplifting tribute to the power of music and community. With a runtime of 180 minutes, the concert is a lengthy but engaging watch, featuring a diverse range of performances that cater to different tastes and ages.

The concert itself is a masterclass in emotional manipulation, with each performer bringing their unique energy and style to the stage. From Ariana Grande's powerful vocals to Justin Bieber's heartfelt rendition of "Love Yourself," each performance is a testament to the healing power of music. The crowd is fully invested in the event, singing along to every song and waving signs of support for the victims and their families. The atmosphere is electric, with a sense of unity and purpose that is palpable throughout the film. The performances are interspersed with messages of support and solidarity from the performers, adding an extra layer of emotional depth to the concert.

One of the most striking aspects of "One Love Manchester" is its ability to balance joy and sadness, hope and despair. The concert is a celebration of life and music, but it is also a somber reminder of the tragedy that brought everyone together. The film handles this delicate balance with sensitivity and respect, never shying away from the difficult emotions but also never letting them overwhelm the sense of hope and resilience that defines the concert. With a TMDB rating of 8.5/10, it's clear that audiences have responded positively to the film, and it's a testament to the enduring power of music to bring people together in times of need. Overall, "One Love Manchester" is a must-watch for anyone who believes in the power of music to heal and inspire, and a fitting tribute to the city of Manchester and its people.
