Polite Society (2023)

‘Polite Society is a fun, charming martial Arts comedy with an original voice. ‘We Are Lady Parts’ creator Nida Manzoor makes the jump (kick) to theaters with this winning tale of sisters and sinister plans.

In theaters now, ‘Polite Society’ represents that rare beast –– a movie that manages to both mash-up styles and tones while also holding on to a refreshingly original voice of its own. It’s also funny, sweet, action packed and destined to inspire other filmmakers. This is the feature debut of Nida Manzoor, who has risen to acclaim as the writer and director of British TV comedy ‘We Are Lady Parts’, which can be seen in the States via Hulu. The story of an all-female Muslim punk band trying to make their way in the bustling music scene of London proved she was someone to watch, and ‘Polite Society’ is the next logical step in her career.
