A vibrant and refreshingly direct teen comedy, *Moxie* ignites from the seemingly simple act of anonymous rebellion. Fuelled by a daughter discovering her mother’s forgotten riot grrrl history, the film unfolds as a zine-powered uprising against everyday sexism within a high school. It’s not a story of flawlessly executed activism, but rather one of awkward, imperfect attempts—complete with missteps and growing pains—that amplify the voices of marginalized students. The narrative finds its strength in portraying female solidarity and the empowering, sometimes messy, process of finding one’s voice, rather than presenting a polished, problem-free resolution. It’s a story about learning to challenge the status quo, even when facing backlash, and finding strength in collective vulnerability.
