Polite Society (2023) Video Mp4 Download Movie
Big trouble. Little sister.
Martial artist-in-training Ria Khan believes she must save her older sister Lena from her impending marriage. After enlisting the help of her friends, Ria attempts to pull off the most ambitious of all wedding heists in the name of independence and sisterhood.
Nida Manzoor’s riotously funny and action-packed film “Polite Society” is a bold feature debut that defies categorization. At its core, it’s about the power of supportive sisters, but it goes on to critique the limitations of cultural, generational, and gendered expectations all between well-choreographed high kicks and punches. It’s an action comedy in the style of Edgar Wright mixed with the cross-cultural commentary of “Bend It Like Beckham,” the sibling dynamic of “Little Women,” and the defiance of a Jane Austen heroine carving a path for herself. But most importantly, it’s a damn good time at the movies.
Polite Society” follows the misadventures of Ria (Priya Kansara), a teenager who dreams of becoming a stunt woman. After school and hanging out with her close friends, Clara (Seraphina Beh) and Alba (Ella Bruccoleri), Ria often spends time in the company of her older sister, Lena (Ritu Arya), who supports and understands her like no one else in their family. Lena helps Ria hone in on her fighting persona, make videos for YouTube, and cheers her on from the sidelines. Their close-knit relationship feels like the only thing that makes sense in Ria’s life—until Lena locks eyes with Salim (Akshay Khanna), a wealthy suitor who whisks her off her feet. When Ria’s suspicions of his family’s dark intentions for Lena are confirmed, it’s up to our future stunt woman to save the day and stop her sister’s wedding.
Manzoor, who wrote and directed “Polite Society,” broke out with the equally hilarious series “We Are Lady Parts,” which followed the formation of an all-women, all-Muslim punk band. The show’s whip-fast editing, comedic style, and witty dialogue form the essence of what makes “Polite Society” so brilliant. Manzoor reunites with several “We Are Lady Parts” collaborators, including editor Robbie Morrison and costume designer PC Williams, who brilliantly illustrate the young women learning to work together in “We Are Lady Parts” and brings an equal level of detail to the characters of “Polite Society.” From Ria’s baggy red-and-gray school uniform to her green and gold traditional South Asian ensemble when she’s about to crash the big day and fight her rival in an all-magenta brocade suit, Williams’ costume work emphasizes Manzoor’s sensibilities, adding to the movie’s visual aesthetics, the action sequences, and comedic elements. Cinematographer Ashley Conner (“The Miseducation of Cameron Post,” “Madeline’s Madeline“) joins the crew to capture the vibrant whirls of fabrics in mid-air kicks, play up the heightened reality of heists, fights, and fantasy sequences, and close-up on Ria and Lena’s emotional journey.
