'The Book of Clarence': Reviving the Biblical Epic with D'Angelo and Jay-Z

"The Book of Clarence" offers a fresh take on a biblical story, portraying a weed-dealing Jerusalem man who proclaims himself the "new messiah" in A.D. 33. The film reimagines the crucifixion and resurrection with modern resonance, depicting a brutal scene where Clarence struggles to carry the cross and is ultimately resurrected. Director Jeymes Samuel aims to inspire audiences to make the most of their time, drawing parallels between Clarence's second chance and the fleeting nature of life.

"The Book of Clarence: A Modern Twist on Biblical Epics"

"The Book of Clarence" revives the Hollywood biblical epic with a modern twist, offering a reimagined Jerusalem in A.D. 33 through the lens of Black culture. Director Jeymes Samuel crafts a thoughtful and irreverent tale, starring LaKeith Stanfield as Clarence, the streetwise twin brother of one of Jesus' apostles, who seeks to become a 13th apostle and repackage Jesus' miracles as his own. The film features contemporary elements and interactions with biblical figures, aiming to explore faith and spirituality in a universal and aspirational manner.

Unraveling the Dark Twists and Witches in Apple TV's 'The Changeling'

"The Changeling" on Apple TV+ is a TV series adaptation of Victor LaValle's novel, featuring LaKeith Stanfield as a father who dismisses his wife's suspicions that their baby is not their own. While the show has appealing performers and some visual style, it struggles to capture the dark and despairing tone of the book. The storytelling is fragmented with excessive flashbacks, and the expansion of certain characters' roles feels forced. However, there are moments of fairy tale magic and a gratifying focus on books throughout the series.

"The Changeling: A Nightmarish and Pretentious Thriller That Misses the Mark"

Apple TV+'s adaptation of Victor LaValle's novel "The Changeling" fails to effectively bring together the elements of Norwegian fairy tales, the Black American experience, Ugandan traditions, and magical folklore. The series, told from the perspective of protagonist Apollo Kagwa (played by LaKeith Stanfield), struggles to ground the narrative in themes of memory, parenthood, and childhood. With an overwhelming amount of exposition and a lack of explanation, the show leaves viewers with more questions than answers, resulting in a baffling and disjointed viewing experience.
