Action | Comedy | UK | 1hr 44mins
A younger sister must save her older sister from her impending marriage.
“Nida Manzoor’s riotously funny and action-packed film Polite Society is a bold feature debut that defies categorization. At its core, it’s about the power of supportive sisters, but it goes on to critique the limitations of cultural, generational, and gendered expectations all between well-choreographed high kicks and punches. It’s an action comedy in the style of Edgar Wright mixed with the cross-cultural commentary of Bend it like Beckham, the sibling dynamic of Little Women, and the defiance of a Jane Austin heroine carving a path for herself. But most importantly, it’s a damn good time at the movies”.
