The Quick Analysis

Polite Society is a dynamic mix of tone and styles. Superbad meets Scott Pilgrim vs. The World meets Everything Everywhere All At Once meets RRR. Ria’s determination is as admirable as it is frustrating, simultaneously her greatest strength and weakness. It endears her to people even as it drives them crazy. How do we navigate such character traits? In ourselves but also in others. And how much do we rely on those we love to fuel our drive? What’s fair to ask of them and what’s too much? Polite Society navigates a number of existential questions while embracing aspects of comedy, action, sci-fi, and soap. 

Of course, there’s also the tension between generations and societal expectations, especially on women, and what individual’s want for themselves. Lena’s plot epitomizes this as her self-doubt fuels a retreat from her own desires and puts her at the mercy of what others want from and of her.
