Review: Sisterly devotion meets a multitude of movie references in boldly deranged PoliteSociety, earning 3.5 stars from film critic Dann Gire
"Polite Society" -- ★ ★ ★ ½ It seems like such a tiny thing, a simple bump in the road, yet it demonstrates the dedication to detail that writer/director Nida Manzoor brings to this merrily manic mashup of cinematic genres titled"Polite Society."
Idealistic teenager Ria Khan goes into action to save her older sister Lena from making a huge matrimonial mistake in"Polite Society." - Courtesy of Focus Features The chief horror for Ria unfolds as she watches Lena's lifelong dream of becoming an artist evaporate when she meets a drop-dead handsome, wealthy, available London doctor named Salim Shah , on the prowl for a suitable wife who meets the approval of his doting mother Raheela .
Just when we think"Polite Society" will settle for being a Jane Austentaciously funny twist on romance and sisterly devotion, it shifts into a dark"Get Out" mode, allowing respected Pakistani movie and stage star Bucha to create deliciously demonic expressions taken to cartoon proportions. "Come with me if you want to live!" Ria utters to Lena. She delivers the line with such authority you would think she created it.
