The leads are Lakeith Stanfield and Omar Sy. The rest of the cast includes Anna Diop, David Oyelowo, Alfre Woodard, Marianne Jean-Baptiste, Caleb McLaughlin, Teyana Taylor, Babs Olusanmokun, Eric Kofi Abrefa, Nicholas Pinnock, Micheal Ward, Chase Dillon, Tom Glynn-Carney, and Tom Vaughan-Lawlor. The movie's description is as follows:
"....Inspired by classic Hollywood epics set in biblical times, The Book of Clarence tells the tale of “Clarence,” a down on his luck denizen of Jerusalem embarks on a misguided attempt to capitalize on the rise of celebrity and influence of the Messiah for his own personal gain. It is a journey that leads him on an exploration of the idea of faith and to a highly unexpected path of his own."

Really liked this. Good first act, ok second act, amazing third act. Interesting take on things.
Fascinating performance by LaKeith Stanfield AS ALWAYS. That man is treasure.
I also appreciated how they mixed humor and sincere promotion of faith together.
8/10 from me.

From the preview it doesn't seem to be the case, but you can never tell. |

From the preview it doesn't seem to be the case, but you can never tell. no not at all. its actually a pretty sweet story. its not trying to replace/ change history as much as it is offering a funny potentially untold ADDITIONAL story that does Not change how christianity works/ evolved (except Jesus and the apostols being played by black actors). |
