I'm Ria Khan. I am going to be a stuntwoman. My sister Lena is the only person who believes in me, but lately she's been seeing this guy who I think is a bit of a smarmy wanker. Now, I'm not being dramatic, but these people are evil.

Women in Film Challenge 2024: [6/52] Polite Society, dir. Nida Manzoor (UK, 2023)

I mean, what is it with men, am I right? I’m no expert, but they just seem to destroy things: the economy, the ozone, the rainforests. I just – I don’t know. It’s like the whole universe revolves around them, bending to their will. Maybe it’s time the universe bends to someone else.

I feel like there's this huge pressure these days to, like, do a thing. You know, the thing we do that's supposed to define us. I think it's really great to just allow yourself to be, you know, working it out.
