I just love this movie. I wish there were many more movies like this being made. A step in the right direction, this is!
Yes, the sisterhood in films has progressed beyond whiny wives and clingy girlfriends, but not enough-not by a long shot.
The thing I loved the most about this movie was the way these young women supported each other, plus-maybe especially-their disagreements, and reactions to them, aren't stereotypical of the way young females are portrayed in film and television.
I would love to see more women depicted as strong, unstoppable, single-minded fighters... especially when it's in aid of rescuing your sister, literal or figurative.
I hope these writers and filmmakers produce more... a lot more.
The young women in Polite Society are going to have wonderful careers-they're all incredible! I especially love towards the end when Kovacs busts into the room upstairs to rescue Ria and her friends. Just. Fabulous!!
