Tribeca 2021: \u2018Queen of Glory\u2019 Film Review<\/strong> | \u2018Queen of Glory’, written and directed by Nana Mensah<\/a>, premiered as part of the Tribeca 2021 Film Festival U.S. Narrative Competition section and Juneteenth programming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SYNOPSIS: Brainy scientist Sarah, a doctoral student at Columbia University, is weeks away from following her very married boyfriend to Ohio when her mother dies suddenly, leaving Sarah the owner of a small but beloved Christian bookstore in the Bronx. Tasked with planning a culturally respectful funeral befitting the family matriarch, Sarah must juggle the expectations of her loving yet demanding family while navigating the reappearance of her estranged father all while grappling with what to do with the bookstore. Aided by an only-in-New York ensemble of Eastern European neighbors, feisty African aunties and a no-nonsense ex-con coworker, Sarah faces her new responsibilities while figuring out how to remain true to herself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nana Mensah\u2019s feature directorial debut is a proverbial pilgrimage to self-discovery told through the lens of a girl-interrupted. Sarah, exceptionally portrayed by Nana Mensah (also known from her acting in \u201cThe Chair\u201d, \u201cThe King of Staten Island\u201d, \u201cNew Amsterdam\u201d, \u201cStranger Things\u201d), takes us on a poignant journey in this charming and original dramedy. Queen of Glory<\/em> is enriched with cultural quirks, nuance, insight and dry humor \u2014 a brilliant reflection to Mensah\u2019s personal storytelling and directing skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The film\u2019s cast selection aligns beautifully with Mensah\u2019s surprising purpose for each character. The most memorable being Meeko Gattuso<\/a>. His involvement as the no-nonsense ex-con coworker (Pitt) is nothing short of genius. Gattuso\u2019s character defies the stereotype often placed upon ex-convicts; and coupled with his role in the bookstore, it allows the viewer to experience Pitt beyond his external appearance. This is a huge nod to Gattuso\u2019s acting chops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the story\u2019s foundation is rooted in tragedy (a young woman losing her mother unexpectedly), the film reveals the universally relatable and festive inner workings of an immigrant family. Mensah\u2019s respect and affection is felt in the authentic depiction of her Ghanaian-American community and Ghanaian history. The narrative of Sarah\u2019s voyage \u2014 who she is pre-realization, the beautiful in-between, and Sarah fully realized \u2014 is, at its core, what makes Queen of Glory<\/em> glow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nana Mensah<\/a> is an actor, writer, and director. Her acting credits include Netflix\u2019s BONDiNG, NBC\u2019s New Amsterdam, and the forthcoming Netflix series The Chair starring Sandra Oh. She has written on shows for Amazon, HBO, and Netflix, as well as original pilots. Queen of Glory is her first film.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
