Michael says: “CLEMENCY is a powerful film with some great acting, but even the best of acting couldn’t quite give this film the spark it needed and honestly, deserved, to make it stand out. Alfre Woodard, always amazing, and top notch here, is the warden of a prison who has spent her years in the job carrying out death sentences. This long career has been upstanding and justified, but has taken a toll on her emotional psyche. Now it’s time to execute another inmate, and while confronting the emotional turmoil that between meeting with the sentenced parents, meeting timelines, and her own core beliefs, she makes a connection that makes her job and her life all that much more difficult.
