The Book of Clarence was one of the first movies I wanted to go see this year. After watching the trailer I was sold. The cast, the director, the subject matter, and the premise enticed me from the jump. One thing that stood out to me immediately was how the movie started. It took away all the preconceived notions you could have going into the film. Then made you sit with that image sinking in your mind for the duration of the film. Jeymes Samuel is known for his creative storytelling. The Book of Clarence is no different.
