This movie’s trying really hard, it throws a lot of stuff at the wall. It’s this coming-of-age film, but there are shades of exploitation, heist, kung-fu and Bollywood movies, not to mention the heavy Edgar Wright influence on the filmmaking and editing. It sounds like a wild, eclectic ride, but for the most part the material isn’t really here. I don’t think the comedy is all that strong and mostly trying way too hard, it’s very ott/extra and can get quite annoying. Moreover, the kung-fu stuff is poorly captured, and there’s not a story beat or character arc that isn’t predictable. Still, there are individual bits I enjoyed (e.g. there’s some fun, wacky stuff during the wedding), and the acting, cinematography and music are all relatively solid. I also really like how it integrates the cultural backgrounds of the characters to add some more colour to the plot, but the movie as a whole doesn’t work for me. 5/10

I was really quite pleasantly surprised by this lively comedy that has as much to do with an episode of "Dr Who" as it does with the traditional family-based rom-com. "Lena" (Ritu Arya) falls hook line and sinker for the handsome (and wealthy) "Salim" (Akshay Khanna) but her savvy sister "Ria" (Prim More

FULL SPOILER-FREE REVIEW @ https://www.msbreviews.com/movie-reviews/polite-society-review-sundance-2023

"Polite Society looks straight out of a comic book. Endlessly energetic, witty humor, and packed with pretty great stunts. Nida Manzoor's quick edits, slow-motion, and stylistic title cards mak More
