Polite Society is delightfully weird, cleverly positioning itself as a very generic rom com story early on before twisting and turning into something much more unique and special. Doing all of this whilst maintaining a clear focus on its central duo's sisterly bond and never backing down on celebrating stunt performers.
Priya Kansara makes a terrific debut, she so funny and endearing and her chemistry with Ritu Arya is instant and infectious. Their bond is the heart of the film and seeing them just being happy is so heartwarming. Nimra Bucha is good at being just generically evil, a cartoon character in live action that she's plays perfectly.
Nida Manzoor's direction is amazing, the fight scenes themselves may not have the best choreography but the film overall has plenty of style (chapters are always a plus). The music by Shez Manzoor and Tom Howe matches the film's irreverence, swapping genres throughout without ever feeling like a mess.
