Polite Society
published by Focus Features
2023
This is an action comedy about a younger sister who doesn’t want to lose her supportive older sister to some smooth-talking wanker with a blatantly evil mother.
Does the younger sister misinterpret some social signals? Sure. Do her parents listen? No. Is she doing some very humiliating things while barking up the wrong tree and undermining her own cause? Yikes, yes. But she truly loves her sister, and is willing to go to outrageous lengths to stop her marriage.
Who can resist great fight-scenes between women dressed up for wedding? (I can’t.)
It is a sweet tale of sisterly love featuring dramatic physical fighting while wearing great outfits. It delivers what the preview promises.
