Queen of Glory (2021)
Country: US
Technical: col 78m
Director: Nana Mensah
Cast: Nana Mensah, Meeko, Oberon K.A. Adjepong
Synopsis:
When her mother dies unexpectedly, leaving her with a Christian bookshop in the Bronx, Sarah is so caught up in all the arrangements and her father's return from Ghana that she needs time to adjust. Meanwhile, her plans to move to Ohio with her married boyfriend seem to recede into the distance.
Review:
An American independent film about finding your inner core. Thus Sarah does not find romance with her bookstore employee (Pitt), as she might in a more mainstream scenario, but comes down to earth, copes with her grief at leisure and abandons her unrealistic plans of escape. Typically rueful in tone and light on incident, it is also low-budget in pacing: the large number of scenes shot from one angle, or edited not to appear so, necessarily creates are more observational style. Charmingly offhand, and with a captivating central presence in Mensah, this is no more sustaining than Pitt's Bible cookies.
