The Book of Clarence is an interesting film, you can never really tell where it's going as it weaves a narrative from stoner on the make comedy, and a much deeper look at responsibility, courage, and civil rights.
Clarence is Thomas's (of the disciples) twin. He deals in weed and along with his bff Elijah, is hustling as he tries to get his big break. Resentful of his brother who gets looked up to for abandoning their Mother to follow Jesus, Clarence ends up owing a lot of money to Jedediah the Terrible, a local crime boss.
It's Jerusalem and Judaism is facing many challenges from would be messiahs, Clarence comes up with the idea of becoming one to be able to pay off his debts.
During this hustle Clarence encounters Christ, the Romans, and a side of himself that he was not aware of. It's a funny, touching and poignant film. There are belly laughs, genuine emotional moments, and a deeper look at Christianity and civil rights throughout.
LaKeith Stanfield is exceptional as Clarence, plus James McAvoy and Benedict Cumberbatch also provide great supporting roles as part of an amazing cast that includes Nicholas Pinnock, Omar Sy, R J Cyler, Alfre Woodard and more.
