It is true that I’m not the biggest fan of comedy in general, but I always go into a film with an open mind, ready to be surprised. Unfortunately, Polish Netflix original Death Before The Wedding didn’t do the genre any favors in my books. In fact, it might have made me more averse to it; let me explain. The film tells the story of a young Polish woman who wants to marry a Black man; she has to convince her racist, misogynistic father, though.
