The Book of Clarence

The Book of Clarence

Streetwise but down-on-his-luck, Clarence is struggling to find a better life for his family, while fighting to free himself of debt. Captivated by the power and glory of the rising Messiah and His apostles, he risks everything to carve his own path to a divine life, and ultimately discovers that the redemptive power of belief may be his only way out.

    Deserves flowers now
    I was not expecting how beautiful my skin tone could be portrayed in a period I had never seen before in a movie. An emotional ride with a contemporary society's insight, respect for the source material, artful creativity, and cleaver warm message I did not see coming. I am sure most are going to have an issue with the material and believe blasphemy, but it is nothing of the sort. It does not rewrite the original story but tells it from a different view. It has comedy, fantasy, style, and a satirical plot without being overly complicated. Also, it even has beautiful choreography. There were truly no small roles in the movie. Everyone had a part to play, and it was wonderful. The whole cast was on fire. LaKeith Stanfield did as he always does, in my opinion, a little too much, but did it well. And shoutout to Tom Vaughan-Lawlor, who was the real villain. I believed the man had real hate in his soul when he was on screen. This movie has certainly not received its flowers.

    Captivating!
    Without and doubt lovers of movies have seen a new wave of thought provoking films in recent years as we enter a age of new. New vision, new thoughts about the past and the way we see ourselves through film. The Book of Clarence is one of those films. I truly enjoy this film. A twist on a story long told through the eyes of the usual suspects. The acting was second to none, the story itself told in a way only one denied the opportunity to tell it from a different perspectives. This film shows us what we have missed out on and what is to come in the future. I'll be adding this film to my collection and I highly recommend this film it's a keeper!
