I absolutely hate this movie. Gave me the exact same feels as when I was 17. Living in extremes and letting every "wrong move" take me down like a sack of potatoes. Thinking I'm really smart when I'm really just overconfident. Wanting to kill myself over saying all the wrong things. Talking too much and being acutely aware that everyone hates the words coming out of my mouth. And most of all, thinking I'd always be like that. This is not the standard teen movie. It's a documentary of life. Specifically the part I'd like to bin. Grudging 5 stars for accuracy.

I absolutely love this movie. Let me just say that this is first and foremost a coming of age story. And the banger is in losing yourself to all the emotions and difficulties in caring too much and then finding triumph with all your friends. I love that the protagonist is metaphorical of the silent majority. Afraid to stand out but wishing to show our hearts and stars as a collective fist pump to the sky. For all of us who are tired of seeing unjust actions, Moxie is the story in our hearts and minds.
