Queen of Glory Ratings & Reviews
National Newspaper Publishers Association
Dwight Brown
If the script had chosen to either be a viable drama or complete farcical comedy instead of merging both, it would have been far more compelling.
Maven's Nest
Nora Lee Mandel
Diversifies assimilated daughter returning to immigrant family home and neighborhood genre. ..Seeing her blossom into her true self looks distinctive and is very satisfying.
The Hollywood Reporter
Lovia Gyarkye
At its core, Mensah's tightly conceived, witty and compassionate dark comedy is a love letter to children of Ghanaian immigrants and to the Bronx, the borough in which she and her protagonist grew up.
Variety
Nick Schager
With a lived-in feel for the Bronx community in which her story takes place, the filmmaker generates endearing pathos from a story whose familiarity is offset by its humor and authenticity.
Critic's Notebook
Sarah Manvel
It's weird the movie goes to such trouble to establish Sarah's independent identity before abandoning it so thoroughly.
Moveable Fest
Stephen Saito
[Nana] Mensah couldn't have crafted a more impressive display for her many talents, but it never feels showy.
Washington Post
Pat Padua
As happens time and again in this quietly effective film, delving beneath the surface of things can sometimes reveal a little slice of heaven on Earth.
TheMovieReport.com
Michael Dequina
Mensah's charisma, dry wit, and flawed but warm heart make for an appealing and relatable screen heroine.
Spectrum Culture
Greg Hyde
This independent comedy drama addresses personal tragedy and the formation of unexpected friendships in a believable way.
New York Times
Lisa Kennedy
The child of Ghanaian parents herself, Mensah traverses the polyglot turf well, infusing details with astute affection and understated laughs. Even the occasional slapstick proves more sweet than silly.
Mark Reviews Movies
Mark Dujsik
First-time director Nana Mensah's Queen of Glory is a small but efficient film.
Film Threat
Alan Ng
Mensah put her heart and experience out there on the big screen with Queen of Glory. She brilliantly drives her narrative in subtle ways and uses the medium of film in ways you would expect from a first-time filmmaker.
The New Yorker
Richard Brody
Working with the cinematographer Cybel Martin, [Mensah] realizes a distinctive style that's as memorable as the drama: she stages overlapping layers of activity in static frames that conjure poise amid turmoil.
AWFJ.org
Jennifer Green
Nana Mensah has crafted a very personal tale with real life-inspired aspects of NYC's ex-pat and first-generation Ghanaian community. Lingering close-ups on Mensah serve almost as forced insights or snapshots into her changing emotional state.
Easy Reader (California)
Neely Swanson
There is much to praise, but more to criticize.
FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)
Lael Loewenstein
[Nana Mensah] is so full of immense energy, and she brings that to every frame of this film.
In Review Online
Selina Lee
Actress and first-time director Nana Mensah is entirely believable as an overwhelmed young woman who's a fish out of water in her own culture

Kenneth R. Morefield
A modest but effective portrayal of reverse culture shock.
Video Librarian Magazine
Ally Ham
The quiet beauty in Queen of Glory lies in its nuanced picture of selfhood and identity.
Loud and Clear Reviews
Isobel Nutbrown
Queen Of Glory, at its heart, is a convincing depiction of modern America.
