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?”

An odd take on the bible. It's unclear what the final message is supposed to be as they kind of contradict themselves the entire film. They have scenes where they say atheism means you will never be loved by God or Jesus, then the next they literally show God or Jesus loving him

7/10, better than I expected

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.
