‘Queen of Glory’ Review: Back to the Bronx

Molecular neuroma scholar Sara Oben is very smart. But in the subtle joy of being the “Queen of Glory” written and directed by starring actor Nana Mensah, the American daughter of Ghanaian parents can also be stupid. She takes her married boyfriend and her college colleague Lyle (Adam Leon): he’s just not worth it.

When Sara learns of her mother’s death, she plans to move to her next job. Now she is an employee who stops at Bronx from the Upper West Side of Manhattan, plans a funeral for her mother, deals with her father (Oberon KA Adjepong), and expresses her gratitude to her mother’s house, Christian bookstore, and store. You need to decide what to do with Pitt (Meeko Gattuso). ). Pitt is particularly pleased as a former prisoner with facial tattoos and creative side gigs.

A child of Ghanaian parents, Mensah skillfully traverses the multilingual lawn, infusing sharp affection and understated laughter into the details. Sometimes even slapstick comedies turn out to be sweeter than ridiculous.

Returning close to the fusion of immigrants and cultural adjacencies, Sarah awakens her sense of community while arousing her feelings of being an outsider. Mencer gently enjoys her heroine and treats the failures of some of the men here with deadpan wit and a little grudge.

Ghanaian drums and dance set sound and visual motifs that repeat confusion and glue at the same time. Sarah had little time for sadness because she had so much to do. Her mother, homeland, and her daughter get their emotional reasons when the archived images of the films of her reality, drums and African gatherings finally converge.
