"Polite Society" is part action film, part comedy, part family drama — and director/writer Nida Manzoor mixes it all together into a very delightful film. Priya Kansara plays Ria, a British-Pakistani teen who dreams of being a stunt woman one day. For now, she settles for getting into drag-out fights with her schoolmates. When her older sister makes the uncharacteristic choice to tie the knot, Ria becomes convinced there's something deeper afoot, turning her into the action hero both she and her sister need to save the day. The action is dramatic, but with a real sense of humour, and the bond between the two sisters seals the deal.
