MOXiE! (2021) ⭐⭐⭐⭐ B+
Amy Poehler's directorial debut reminds me a lot of Booksmart (another good stream). Overall this teenage feminist awakening movie covers a lot well in a limited time span. We see the coming of age tale of finding your voice and deciding what matters as friendships and ideals develop. However, there are two glaring issues for me. It's the issue of intersectional feminism and treating issues as if they are all the same in level of importance. Neither I will get into because it's a huge plot spoiler. But it's the familiar tale of POCs being placed on the back burner of social justice movements.
