Streetwise but struggling, Clarence (LaKeith Stanfield) is trying to find a better life for himself and his family, make himself worthy of the woman he loves, and prove that he’s not a nobody. Captivated by the power and glory of the rising Messiah and His apostles, he risks everything to carve his own path to a divine life, a journey through which he finds redemption, faith, power and knowledge.
Creative force of nature Jeymes Samuel follows up on his barnstorming redux of the western, The Harder They Fall, with this exuberant, boldly idiosyncratic spin on the biblical epic, revitalising the well-worn genre by viewing proceedings through a refreshingly Black lens. With LaKeith Stanfield on magnetic form as the titular false prophet, this often hilarious, gleefully provocative historical remix boasts an electrifying soundtrack, featuring contributions by Jeymes Samuel himself, alongside hip-hop royalty including JAY-Z, Lil Wayne and Kid Cudi.
