🍿 From the creator of WE ARE LADY PARTS comes POLITE SOCIETY, a feminist Bollywood-and kung fu-inspired heist movie. | ✍️ areelofonesown
Nida Manzoor is out to smash far more than a wedding in the action-packed, deeply feminist satire, she’s set her sights on demolishing the patriarchy itself for her feature directorial debut, shredding a whole lot of stereotypes in her wake.
It’s anchored by a love story, in this case the bond between two Pakistani Muslim Londoners, the teenage Ria and her older sister Lena , who is floundering and depressed after dropping out of art school. The latter’s spiraling would make Margot Robbie’s Harley Quinn applaud, as her hunger was mostly reserved for one perfect sandwich. But Lena effortlessly outdoes her, since her cravings have her chowing down on an entire chicken.
Ria is the one who drags her out of bed by persuading Lena to film her latest attempts at becoming a stuntwoman, a dream Ria seeks to fulfill much to her parents’ dismay. Their mom and dad cheer up, though, when Lena catches the eye of their community’s heartthrob, Salim Shah , and are downright ecstatic when she’s engaged after a whirlwind courtship. Only Ria is aghast and determined to sabotage the couple’s upcoming nuptials.
What unfolds next is part heist and part tribute to Bollywood and kung fu movies, with a third-act twist that will no doubt prove polarizing. But those willing to embrace it will enjoy the darkly feminine spin ona bit too much on condemning some of the popular culture aimed at women.
