In a world where the stage lights have dimmed and we are too afraid to even sit back down in seats now covered in shadow, and the fans over our head decline to carry voices once lifting, soothing, we're fading into the background. But there remains a silver lining waiting to be seen, a reminder of what was, struggles and triumphs. Whether we stand or sit, it doesn't matter. We just need to listen to his story and feel his inspiration.
Because when we pass through this period of pandemic, and it will be another chapter to belong to history, we can either remain in the background or peel ourselves away from the walls to make our dreams real.

I was looking forward to this documentary because I've very much enjoyed listening to Kevin Smith speak in the spoken word talks he's done. THE GUY CAN TALK !
But there is so very little of his great storytelling here - and I suppose if you really like his movies, you may enjoy learning more about him and listening to people talk about him - but I just found this so boring.
There is not much more I can say: I'd SO much prefer to listen to him speak and tell the entertaining stories that I've seen him tell - and they are much, much more fun to listen to than this drab, lifeless 'tribute' to the greatness of this man.

Oh Kevin, here you are again.
Relevance is necessary in this time, but maybe try to write another movie- not a prequel or a sequel. Nor another remake Do you have it you?

Not much else to add. I started to watch and then stopped 10 mins in realizing it's not a joke. It's just slowly boring. I don't like when they get you excited and then you get disappointed so much.
I've been a Kevin Smith fan since I was five. I remember vividly watching Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back with my parents and as the credits rolled being told "Now remember, Chris, you can't repeat any of this to grandma and papa."
As a life long fan, this documentary is an excellent love letter to Kevin Smith the filmmaker, Kevin Smith the podcaster, Kevin Smith the icon, and Kevin Smith the person. From Jersey to Hollywood, it's been an emotional ride and Malcom Ingram certainly captured all of it.
Clerk is a quintessential viewing for any fan of Smith. Clerk will make you laugh. Clerk will make you cry.
