Why watch this film?
Master of stop motion animation, Henry Selick ("The Nightmare Before Christmas", "Coraline") is back in collaboration with Jordan Peele ("Get Out"), with a spirit as deliriously macabre as the rest of his previous works. In "Wendell & Wild", we find a guilt-ridden yet attitude-filled teen, Kat (Lyric Ross), who is recruited by the two titular demon brothers (voices of Peele and Keegan-Michael Key) to summon them to the world of evil, though she has something dangerous to ask in return. The peculiar animation is simply phenomenal, serving a story that, although super-thematic, deals delicately and originally with themes of guilt, loss, and grief. Unmissable for fans of Selick, stop motion animation, or horror in general.

The Book of Clarence
Biblical epics in the style of Ben-Hur are so recognizable in classic cinema that they have been the subject of witty parodies (most notably, the also classic Monty Python's Life of Brian). Here, director Jeymes Samuel (The Harder They Fall) filters the conventions of these films through a black lens, with a cast led by names like Lakeith Stanfield, Alfre Woodard, David Oyelowo, Omar Sy, and Anna Diop, among others. The Book of Clarence follows a man who, aspiring to be someone in life, decides to capitalize on the popularity of Jesus of Nazareth for his own benefit. Through the biblical cliché, the film examines issues such as black identity, the distortion of faith by organized religions, and the very sense of goodness and compassion. It's somewhat uneven but nonetheless entertaining.
