Polite Society unleashes real comic fun.
If you enjoy reading my Spoiler-Free thoughts, please follow my blog to read my full review :)
"Polite Society looks straight out of a comic book. Endlessly energetic, witty humor, and packed with pretty great stunts. Nida Manzoor's quick edits, slow-motion, and stylistic title cards make this a distinctively fun feature debut. Not perfect, but the over-the-topness of it all brought it home for me.
If the action doesn't really impress you or if the purposefully exaggerated tone is too much to handle, then this may not be for you. But if Manzoor's maximalist style conquers your full attention, then you'll hardly leave unsatisfied."
