2021 * NR * 1h 18m This is what indie flicks are all about. Movies made on a limited budget but featuring fine acting, writing, and cinematography. I just love movies like this. Nana Mensah wrote starred and directed this fine film. Watch out for great things for her in the very near future, if this is any indication of what she's capable of.
In the film, a young research scientist is having an affair with a fellow scientist. He's married with a couple of children, which is a bit problematic. They both live in NYC, but supposedly are going to move to Ohio.Then her mother dies and she has to deal with all the funeral arrangements. Her father moves back to the States from Ghana and becomes a real pain in the neck. Interspersed within the movie are numerous scenes depicting Ghanaian dancing and celebrating. They effectively combine with present day New York to give a sense of who she is and help define her.
It's a happy, fun, slice-of-life movie that I found very enjoyable. I hope you like it as much as I did.
4 out of 5 stars
