Los Angeles, March 6 : Actress Amy Poehler, who has directed as well as acted in the new OTT release Moxie, says she ensured the role of a mother was well defined in the film.
The film is about a 16-year-old from a small town who is inspired by her mother’s past experiences in the underground punk movement Riot Grrrl and starts a feminist revolution in her high school.
“I can’t speak for all parents or all kids. I do think that what was fun about playing this character is that I think mothers in general in films get a little flattened out. The mother’s I know are really funny, complex, interesting characters with really rich, full lives,” Poehler told Smallzy’s Celebrity Small Talk, according to a report in femalefirst.co.uk.
