From visionary filmmaker Jeymes Samuel, The Book of Clarence is a bold new take on the timeless Hollywood era Biblical epic.

    best movie so far for 2023. Hopefully people get the message that "There ain't no man named Jesus who is god. but there is only God who chooses many messiahs and we are not supposed to idolize and worship them. But fesr God and keep his commands.

    I definitely think you have to have at least the basic understanding of the Bible to know what’s happening in the movie, but it’s still a great movie.

Samuel has made a movie that imagines a good-hearted sinner slouching toward salvation one desperate measure at a time. But he’s also made a mirror designed to let folks see themselves in this scenario for once.

Samuel never stays with any idea for long and “The Book of Clarence” lacks cohesion, as well as consistency, even if the acting is superb, especially from a soulful Stanfield.

Jeymes Samuel is a master of all trades who can craft character-driven arcs with fun action-packed sequences all against a beautiful score. No actor misses a beat and it confirms LaKeith Stanfield remains not just a brilliant actor but a true movie star.
