Polite Society review

Following the blast of sitcom joy that was We Are Lady Parts, Nida Manzoor takes a giant leap to the big screen with an in-your-face comedy about crane-kicking the face of traditional mores.

Polite Society review

The debut film from Nida Manzoor, Polite Society is an appealing blend of action romp and teen comedy centred on a martial arts-obsessed teen.
