The Book of Clarence Blu-ray offers an exquisite 1080p/AVC-encoded video presentation with lifelike skin tones, vivid primaries, and impressive depth. Despite lacking a 4K release, its transfer is lush and beautiful, with sharp details and vibrant color reproduction, unmarred by any encoding issues.

Audio: 89

Sony's DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 sound mix for 'The Book of Clarence' excels with its clear, well-prioritized dialogue and immersive soundstage. While not as expansive as an Atmos track, it delivers engaging surround activity, precise directionality, and impactful LFE that enhance dramatic moments compellingly.

Extra: 57

The Book of Clarence Blu-ray extras offer a comprehensive experience for dedicated viewers, highlighted by an insightful audio commentary with Director Jeymes Samuel and LaKeith Stanfield, over 30 minutes of captivating deleted scenes, and featurettes that delve into the film's production, music, and ensemble cast.

Movie: 63

The Book of Clarence ambitiously treads the line between comedy and drama in a biblical setting with LaKeith Stanfield's compelling energy; however, it lacks the sharp satirical edge and cohesion of genre predecessors like Life of Brian, relying instead on strong production design and standout performances to transcend its inconsistent narrative.
