REVIEW: Clerks III (2022)
Clerks III is probably Kevin Smith’s most introspective movie. This isn’t the first time he’s looked inward through his films; his early works were about him growing in his attitude towards relationships, Dogma was born of his struggles with his faith, and the recent Jay and Silent Bob Reboot ...
