Clarence and Angel

About This Movie

Clarence and Angel is this interesting little drama from 1980 that often gets overshadowed by bigger titles. You've got Clarence, the new kid from the South, thrown into the bustling chaos of New York school life. Then there's Angel, who brings this vibrant energy that’s hard to ignore. The film captures their struggles—Clarence grappling with dyslexia and Angel's hyperactivity. It’s raw and feels authentic, especially in how it depicts the challenges of fitting in. The pacing is a bit uneven, but there’s a charm in that. The performances have this almost documentary feel, and you can sense the realness in their interactions. It’s definitely one for collectors who appreciate character-driven stories.
