The film 'The Book of Clarence' directed by Jeymes Samuel and starring LaKeith Stanfield has received mixed reviews. Critics have described it as a spiritual satire that never comes together, an adventurous homage to biblical epics, and an adventurous homage to biblical epics undermined by tonal imbalance. The film has sparked controversy with claims of blasphemy, and the director has responded to these claims. Additionally, a new song titled 'I Want You Forever' by Jay-Z and D'Angelo, made for the film's soundtrack, has been released. The film is now playing exclusively in movie theaters and features a star-studded cast including LaKeith Stanfield, Omar Sy, RJ Cyler, Anna Diop, David Oyelowo, Micheal Ward, Alfre Woodard, Teyana Taylor, Caleb McLaughlin, Eric Kofi-Abrefa, Marianne Jean-Baptiste, James McAvoy, and Benedict Cumberbatch.
