CHICAGO – Patrick McDonald of HollywoodChicago.com audio film review for “The Book of Clarence,” featuring LaKeith Stanfield as a contemporary of Jesus In Jerusalem, directed by Jeymes Samuels (“The Harder They Fall”). In theaters on January 12th, 2024.

Clarence (LaKeith Stanfield) is a small time “herb” dealer in Jerusalem in 33 AD, during the time of the adult Jesus. Frustrated at his status in life and owing money, he recruits his best friend Elijah (RJ Tyler) and former slave Barabbas (Omar Sy) to become part of a scheme to create their own following, with Clarence as a messiah. To make this work, he seeks advice from Jesus’ mother Mary (Alfre Woodard), gets baptized by the famous John (David Oyelowo) and seeks the approval of the woman he wants to woo (Anna Diop). What could go wrong?
