Clancy

  “Pain is inevitable. Misery is optional.” That’s the tagline for Clancy, Kelly’s Filmworks’ new emotional drama that released October 20 on DVD.
  Clancy is evangelistic in content although lacking in a complete presentation of the Gospel. AFA cautions viewers to expect a message that is more sentimental than substantial as they bond with Clancy Miller, a young girl with an inspiring faith, a big heart and an unexplained love for her addict mother who abuses her.
  In an effort to become less of a burden on her mother who needs to go away for rehab, Clancy runs away from home and meets Nick, a hurting homeless veteran living on the streets. An unlikely friendship emerges and their lives are changed forever, especially when a corrupt mayor’s plan to capitalize on Clancy’s disappearance turns tragic.
  Although a bit slow at first with choppy transitions, awkward silences and weak acting throughout, Clancy is a compelling movie that will touch the hearts of viewers. It is a sweet and inspiring picture of how a child’s faith can be used to impact a man’s heart hardened by years of sin and heartache.
  Clancy is unrated and does contain mature themes, alcohol, smoking and name-calling as well as bloody violence including images of abuse and war-related death.
