'Polite Society' director Nida Manzoor says Spotify knows her too well
isn't your usual coming of age flick. It centers on Ria Khan , a British Pakistani teen who dreams of becoming a stunt woman, but finds herself at a loss when her sister decides to marry a handsome young doctor. To help save her sister, she has to overcome the groom’s overbearing mother, a wonderfully sinister Nimra Bucha, and make her way through a series of knock down, drag out fights.
Like any modern artist, Manzoor relies on gadgets for work and play, but she leans on her love of music the most."I'm always building playlists," she said,"I've been relying on Spotify to hook me up with new stuff, and the algorithm knows me better than I know myself at this point.
