Well I'd have to say I can't get enough of 'boyz in the hood', 'bad boy gone good' type of movies and this was a good example. Loved the cast and the acting.

Chapter & Verse is a film so powerful and poetic, it dares you to forget the love story that is Harlem: A tenderness that spans generations and withstands the pain.

Saw this at MIST in Harlem last night with my mother and nephew. Great film that shares all things that revolve around those who are affected by the prison industrial system. A must see film that will generate fruitful conversations to help transform this world we live in.

Its a must see and a universal story of how to recapture your life. Its "how broken people learn to love one another"]and kindness prevails. Another movie where NYC places a role and it works. Be prepared to experiences all emotions, while walking in the footsteps of the main character and leave the theater with hope. Be sure to look our for the movie which will be showing in major cities LA, ATL, Chicago, etc. In NYC you can catch it at Mist Theater and AMC on 42nd street.

Hollywood Reporter

Resonating with an authenticity borne of the experiences of its director/co-screenwriter Jamal Joseph, Chapter & Verse movingly portrays the plight of a recently released ex-con striving to make a new life for himself on the mean streets of Harlem.

The saving grace of Chapter & Verse is its painfully honest eye and ear for human behavior and speech.

Chapter & Verse exudes so much empathy towards its characters without ever coming close to being overwrought in its drama.
