Amy Poehler’s new Netflix film
Moxie is not perfect. But it is very, very good. It’s a smart, funny, entertaining look at how growing up female in 2020 is similar and different from growing up in the Sixties and Nineties, or any other time for that matter.
Now we know what the prolific writer-director-actress Poehler has been doing between hosting Saturday Night Live, the Golden Globes, and myriad television and film projects! She has been crafting a heartfelt, humorous, painful sketch of teen society structured around high school life.
Moxie is not one, but many character sketches set against the backdrop of family and high school. Poehler’s film daughter Hadley Robinson and her best friend Lauren Tsai are shy introverts, unobtrusively coasting through school. The meek Robinson has neither the will nor desire to match her mother’s reminiscences of feminine rebellion.
