Derek Does Stuff

Polite Society (released 4/28/23)

I didn't fully know what to expect from this movie. The cast and the tone from the trailers are what caught my attention. This is honestly a great movie about your dreams and the connection of family. There is a twist in the movie that I thought was perfectly weird and funny. The cast is amazing. It felt like a hyper-real version of genuine life and family drama. I say hyper-real because the fighting is more like an anime than realistic fighting. I love everything about this movie. It is also cool to see Pakistani-centric films being made (like Ms. Marvel). It feels like a movie you would try on a whim on Netflix and then be pleasantly surprised by how fun the film is. This movie is a fun ride and I recommend it highly for a good laugh with some scenes that will trigger secondhand awkwardness.
