The Book of Clarence

7.6 - An enigma. It takes risks everywhere: camera work, music, genre & art bending & blending, & most notably in its writing & biblical adaptation. Unsure if it’s more righteous or blasphemous. I grew up religious & now am not, so I connected with this in interesting ways.

“nigga what?”

The preview looked interesting but a lot of the humor was in the trailer. Also the movie was comical and light hearted then turned super heavy and religious and felt like a different movie the second half.

i couldn’t even finish this. not for me at all and i’m black. i loved seeing so many familiar faces but that’s the best i can say

Risky film. I liked this but not enough for a like. Would never ever rewatch but enjoyed the music and cinematography. The messages were mixed and at times forced.

2/10
