As a companion/expansion of the book it worked for me. Actually worked better than the book in conveying Wilkerson’s ideas imo. Undeniably it’s a disjointed, messy project that lectures and preaches. Anyone not already receptive to these ideas likely won’t be swayed but could have an effect on those not inclined to read a book like Caste.

The Book of Clarence 2023
The only kind thing I can say about this film is that I smiled a bit during the dance sequence soundtracked to The Jones Girls "Nights Over Egypt".

Easily one of worst scripts to attract such a top tier cast. Makes me question my enjoyment of The Harder They Fall, did I lose my mind to think Jeymes Samuel was a great new talent.
