Nick Schager Variety Despite its familiarity, "Chapter & Verse" manages to make its material both fresh and authentic. Feb 10, 2017 Full Review Michael Rechtshaffen Los Angeles Times [A] tough/tender portrait of an ex-con attempting to find redemption in modern-day transitional Harlem. Feb 9, 2017 Full Review Frank Scheck 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.

nilufer e 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. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Despite its familiarity, "Chapter & Verse" manages to make its material both fresh and authentic. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member This film is amazing. It's a movie for us by us. The characters are fantastic. I would see this movie again and again. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Read all reviews
