Review of Polite Society (2023) by Tvjerry — 02 May 2023

Nida Manzoor created the delightful comedy about an all-girl Muslim punk band called We Are Lady Parts (my review). This is her first feature and even though it has the spunk of the series, it doesn't fully hold up.

Priya Kansara & Ritu Arya play close sisters: One wants to be a stunt woman and the other an artist. Conflict ensues when romance comes between them. The theme of sisterhood comes thru and the cultural aspects from London's Pakastani community add a unique layer.

The movie bright and fun, but the comedy never takes off, the laffs are minimal and the ending sequence should be wild, but is overdone and lacks punch. Still, there's an undeniable energy to the performances and direction that keep it entertaining.
