Moxie

About This Movie

Moxie is an intriguing blend of comedy and drama with a pulse on social issues. The film captures the tumultuous high school atmosphere where teenage angst meets activism. The pacing feels natural, kind of like a diary unfolding, as the protagonist navigates her shy nature against the backdrop of her mother's rebellious history. The zine culture aspect gives it a refreshing vibe and it showcases the power of voice – especially in calling out sexism. Performances are genuine, particularly from the young ensemble cast, bringing a raw energy that feels both relatable and inspiring. The practical effects are minimal but effective; the focus is more on character development and dialogue, which makes it distinctive in this genre.
