The true star of Polite Society is writer/director Nida Manzoor, who delivers a powerful, fun and funny, genre-bending outing in her directorial film debut. Manzoor was the brainchild behind We Are Lady Parts, the exceptional series that chronicled the members of a Muslim female punk band, mostly told through the eyes of a geeky PhD student (Anjana Vasan), whose brought in as the band’s unlikely lead guitarist. Like that series, the release of Polite Society gives viewers a bold protagonist to root for and somebody who must overcome a bevy of obstacles. My, how fun it is to watch Ria (Priya Kansara) here, a spirited UK teen who dreams of becoming a movie stuntwoman.
