   Is 'polite society' a mash-up?

   • “Polite Society,” a rollicking genre mash-up, is set in an enclave of well-to-do Muslim Londoners who play along with the comedy’s title until they get cranky. Then come the punches and neck chops, the bruises and broken glass, the ludicrous wire-fu that allows a matron in a brocade lehenga to fly through the air.

   What is 'polite society' about?

   • Polite Society is a work of many genres and themes: the fact it weaves these together so seamlessly and cohesively is a testament to Manzoor's prowess with the pen, and behind the lens. It is a film about family and sisterhood. At the heart of it all is Ria, a schoolgirl who aspires to be a stuntwoman, and her love for her older sister.

   Is polite society a socio-political thriller?

   • Polite Society shifts into an entirely different register in the film’s second half, keeping some of the sisters’ energy but then channelling it into the territory of a socio-political thriller with a bold twist – proof that Manzoor has serious chops beyond all the slapstick comedy and adolescent chaos.

   Is 'polite society' based on a relationship?

   • Sisterhood is the essential core of “Polite Society,” rooted in Manzoor’s own relationship with her sister Sanya, one of the most important and “visceral” relationships in her life. “It’s gone through so many shifts, and it’s unlike a romantic relationship,” Manzoor said.
