Polite Society (2023, UK)
Director & Writer: Nida Manzoor
Mini-review:
I could tell Nida Manzoor was a maverick from watching We Are Lady Parts, and this movie confirmed it once again. Much like that show, Polite Society is unpredictable, surprising and entirely fun. There's nothing else like it out there, and that on its own is already an achievement. It took me a moment to get used to the over-the-top, campy tone of the film, but from there on I had an absolute blast. The cast goes all in, and their obvious delight is a big part of what makes the experience so enjoyable. I don't really know what else to say, cause it's better to go into this movie knowing nothing about it, and I don't wanna risk spoiling anything. The point is: watch this!
Polite Society (2023)
Polite Society
Summary: Aspiring stuntwoman Ria (Priya Kansara) trains with the help of her sister Lena (Ritu Araya). When Lena gets engaged after a whirwind romance, Ria must do whatever she can to stop the wedding.
Entertaining genre blender (film divided into chapters, Western-style) with bonkers twist two-thirds of the way in. Hope Kansara goes far.
Rating: 4/5
