‘The Book of Clarence’ Review: LaKeith Stanfield Shines in Wildly Entertaining Epic

Jeymes Samuel follows up his beloved ‘The Harder They Fall’ with a comedic take on the story of Jesus Christ.


In 2021, Jeymes Samuel put his own spin on the classic Hollywood western in The Harder They Fall. Now he hopes to recapture that magic, but this time with the biblical epic in The Book of Clarence. Academy Award nominee LaKeith Stanfield (Judas and the Black Messiah) stars as Clarence, an atheist slacker living in A.D. 33 Jerusalem, who comes up with a scheme to capitalize on the rise of Jesus Christ by claiming that he’s a new messiah sent by God, to free himself of debt. The further Clarence gets into his scheme, the more he puts himself and those he loves at risk, and along the way, he begins to have his own spiritual awakening. The Book of Clarence also stars Omar Sy (Lupin), Anna Diop (Titans), RJ Cyler (Me and Earl and the Dying Girl), David Oyelowo (Selma), Micheal Ward (Top Boy), Academy Award nominee Alfre Woodard (12 Years a Slave), Teyana Taylor (A Thousand and One), Academy Award nominee Marianne Jean-Baptiste (Secrets & Lies), Caleb McLaughlin (Stranger Things), Eric Kofi-Abrefa (BMF), James McAvoy (Split), and Academy Award nominee Benedict Cumberbatch (Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness).

‘Wicked Little Letters’ Review: Jessie Buckley and Olivia Colman Swear Up a Storm

A fantastic, foul-mouthed cast carries Thea Sharrock’s star-studded true story.


Academy Award winner Olivia Colman and Academy Award nominee Jessie Buckley may have both starred in Maggie Gyllenhaal‘s The Lost Daughter, but because they were playing the same character, they never actually shared the screen. In the period dramedy Wicked Little Letters, the two actresses will finally share the screen together. Based on a true story, the movie is set in the year 1920 in the English seaside town of Littlehampton and begins when spinster and devout Christian Edith Swan (Colman) receives a series of profanity-laden letters. As more and more women in town begin to receive letters as well, Edith and her family suspect that their neighbor Rose Gooding (Buckley) is behind the letters, thanks to her notorious knack for cursing. As the investigation continues, the women of Littlehampton suspect that Rose may have been framed and that someone else is behind the letters. Thea Sharrock (Me Before You) directs the movie, which also stars Anjana Vasan (We Are Lady Parts), Joanna Scanlan (Getting On), Gemma Jones (Harry Potter), Malachi Kirby (Roots), Lolly Adefope (Saltburn), Eileen Atkins (Gosford Park), Timothy Spall (Harry Potter).
