QUEEN OF GLORY – ★★☆

Film about an African American woman who is deep in academia, dating a married man who’s about to move across the country, and who she intends to follow. But then her mother, who runs a Christian bookshop, dies and the film tells the story of how she changes. Unfortunately, I didn’t really see what the message was that this film was trying to portray. It felt like it might be that women are better off being at home, serving their family (in this case, her estranged father), and running a bookshop, rather than being self-thinking and independent. Well acted by the lead, but otherwise it didn’t really grab me.
