Movie Reviews: Schoolgirl sets about dismantling the patriarchy in Moxie
Moxie: an upbeat, feelgood movie in the mould of Booksmart and Easy A
(12A) stars Hadley Robinson as Vivian, who gradually comes to realise that her high school is a hotbed of toxic sexism when new student Lucy (Alycia Pascual-Pena) refuses to be intimidated by the football team captain, Mitchell (Patrick Schwarzenegger), and finds herself ostracised and bullied. Determined to make a difference, and inspired by her mother’s (Amy Poehler) own teenage activism, Vivian secretly publishes the feminist manifesto ‘Moxie’ and sets about dismantling her school’s patriarchy.Â
