Written and directed by Nida Manzoor, who created the brilliantly funny TV series We Are Lady Parts, Polite Society is a decidedly nutso film heavily influenced by nutso martial arts movies, among other things. The story is wild and the comedy is wacky, but it's also heartfelt, with relatable, emotionally believable characters.
This movie takes place in a world of its own, in a genre of its own, and it moves through that world with a wonderful sense of style and confidence.
I knew I wanted to see this movie when I saw who directed it, but I also knew I wanted to see this movie when I saw the trailer. The trailer is wild and funny and crazy and the movie completely lives up to it.
Highly recommended.
