 About the movie 
It is the ravishing sophomore feature film by Nigerian-born fashion photographer Andrew Dosunmu, it opens with a wedding scene that calls such classics as “The Deer Hunter” and “Goodfellas” to mind, a celebration every bit as closely observed and utterly mesmerizing. Like those films, “Mother of George” is set in a tightly knit immigrant community — in this case, Ni­ger­ians living in Brooklyn, where they’ve built a largely insular world that’s only occasionally punctured by the society surrounding them. As that radiant opening sequence plays and plays, the stunning bride, Adenike (Danai Gurira), and her groom, Ayodele (Isaach de Bankole), are feted by friends and family, all dressed in explosions of saffrons, pinks and blues, and all offering blessings and sage advice — none more freighted than the wish from Ayodele’s mother for the speedy arrival of a grandson, to be named George.
