Queen of Glory is about love, loss, and family, but more than anything it's a story about learning to love and accept yourself. Beautiful scenes and music, lovable characters.

Remember the name Nana Mensah — as an actor, writer and director, Queen Of Glory is a hugely impressive calling card.

A low-budget gem whose glory lies in its own roughness.

For such a slender film –just 78 minutes long – it delivers more than it promises.

But Why Tho? A Geek Community

Queen of Glory is glorious, with a vivid depiction of self-discovery through the eyes of its secondary characters that never patronizes them or its main character.

Rated: 8/10

Edward Porter

Sunday Times (UK)

Mensah's description of a particular community is a large part of the movie's appeal, but she also brings a light touch to the usual stuff of films about modern women facing life's hassles.
