The Book Of Clarence (15) Film Review from LondonNet
An opportunist capitalises on the rising fame of Jesus Christ in ancient Jerusalem in a comedy drama written and directed by Jeymes Samuel. In AD 33, Clarence (LaKeith Stanfield), twin brother of Thomas the Apostle (Stanfield again), finds himself heavily indebted to loan shark Jedediah the Terrible (Eric Kofi-Abrefa). To ease his financial woes, Clarence hatches a hare-brained scheme to pose as a messiah and ride on the coattails of Jesus (Nicholas Pinnock)…
His plan to be anointed the 13th apostle is initially scuppered until Judas Iscariot (Micheal Ward) asks Clarence to prove his worth by freeing a group of slaves. A visit to the home of Jesus’s parents Joseph (Brian Bovell) and Mary (Alfre Woodard) doesn’t unfold as intended and the bogus saviour is interrogated by Pontius Pilate (James McAvoy). Benedict Cumberbatch, Teyana Taylor and David Oyelowo co-star.
The Book Of Clarence screens to our critic on Tuesday. Check back later in the week for our full review.
