Let\u2019s go to the movies!\u201d You\u2019re probably thinking, oh, it\u2019s going to be one of those like \u201cRudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer,\u201d or \u201cIt\u2019s a Wonderful Life,\u201d maybe \u201cThe Muppet Christmas Carol.\u201d But no.  He suggests one opening right in the middle of Christmas week that will swing into the new year about a conflicted woman working in a prison with a flourishing death row.  OK, then.  You\u2019re in, but only because you heard that Alfre Woodard is in the major role in what many will consider the best performance of her illustrious career.  That might be difficult to image considering the dynamic jobs she has done with \u201cBurning Sands\u201d as a professor in a college with a tragic hazing incident, or as the narrator in \u201cNat Turner,\u201d maybe in one of her many TV performances like \u201cGray\u2019s Anatomy,\u201d \u201cSteel Magnolias\u201d and \u201cA Series of Unfortunate Events.\u201d  Few actors this year have expressed their fictional job conflicts like Woodard in \u201cClemency,\u201d a film by Chinonye Chukwu in her sophomore feature, a woman whose debut directing was of \u201calaskaLand\u201d \u2013about an estranged Nigerian brother and sister forced to reconnect in their hometown of Fairbanks, Alaska.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cClemency\u201d is bookended by scenes of almost unbearable tension: opening as Woodard\u2019s character, Warned Bernadine Williams, deals with the botched execution of a Hispanic man\u2014who undergoes the strapping into the gurney as though paralyzed rather than the expected screaming and crying\u2014but who will let loose after the prison staff has difficulty finding a proper vein in his arm or leg.  As \u201cClemency\u201d concludes, Bernadine walks down the hall lost in thought about her entire career, wondering whether it\u2019s worth continuing to be a martinet who refuses to bend past a single rule, but at the same time finding a connection to Anthony Woods (Aldis Hodge) who is scheduled to die for killing a police officer during a robbery fifteen years back.<\/p>\n<p>We know more about the warden by scenes in her home where her husband Jonathan Williams (Wendell Pierce), a teacher, is getting increasingly fed up with her distance from him, her insomnia, her nightmares, her protestations that she does not want to be touched.  On the professional level, she spends time with her deputy warden drinking in bars, then reluctantly handing him her keys when he insists on driving her home.  Her job requires her to deal with Woods\u2019s lawyer, Mary Lumetta (Richard Schiff), who is burned out from a thirty-year career trying to save condemned prisoners and announceing that he will retire after the case against Woods is finally adjudicated.<\/p>\n<p>We don\u2019t know whether Bernadine is pro- or anti-capital punishment.  She hides her views but in her contacts with the condemned Woods, she conveys the impression that she has spent enough time on her job and that she might prefer to ask for a transfer to a prison where the death penalty is not carried out.  As a whole, writer-director Chukwu, the first Black woman to win the Grand Jury Prize at last January\u2019s Sundance Festival, leaves it up to us in the audience to interpret her views on the death penalty.  <\/p>\n<p>There is virtually no music on the soundtrack, a condition that many a film should try to duplicate to avoid annoying intrusions into  dialogue.  Here ambiance reigns supreme in a drama you should feel free to attend unless you prefer the more melodramatic cases as shown in \u201cPierrepont: The Last Hangman\u201d based on the life and times of Albert Pierrepont who slipped a rope around hundreds of necks until he burned out, and \u201cI Want to Live!\u201d starring Susan Hayward as a habitual criminal facing execution.
