Moxie

After some triggering incidents at her high school, a student (Hadley Robinson) publishes a zine that launches a feminist movement. This is framed as a teen comedy, but it’s more focused about the message of empowerment. There’s the expected bag of misfits (none of them especially quirky or interesting), the boyfriend who’s too-perfectly supportive (a sweet, charming Nico Hiraga) and the mom who gets the few comic lines (director Amy Poehler). Overall, there’s not a lot of funny business…just good-natured energy. While it’s sufficiently endearing, it will appeal younger audiences who may be looking to get politically motivated.
