A film created by Netflix, focusing on a teenage girl who is inspired by her mother’s rebellious past. Growing up, the shy 16-year-old creates an anonymous magazine named “Moxie”, where the purpose of this magazine focuses on and calls out sexism at her high school.
From watching this film, I can confirm I thoroughly enjoyed it. The acting and production of this film were great! This film explores strong feminism and the issues women face daily from men. With the current issues in the world, I feel this film is very fitting for the way the world is today. It’s a valuable insight to see that the focus on fighting back against such issues comes from young women in our society, who are fighting for change for all women, regardless of age. This film conveys a compelling message that change has to happen.
I recommend this film to anyone undecided about it. I strongly suggest giving it a watch, as I feel it is insightful in more ways than many realise, due to the message the film has aimed to convey and succeeded in delivering.
This film is very empowering towards women, especially in the society we have today, and from many reviews I have read, before writing my own, I can see a lot of people disliked this film and to me that is not surprising as most of the negative reviews seemed to have been from people who may see their own self in the attitudes towards women in today’s world.
Although there are many films of a similar genre that aim to promote feminism and empower women against sexism, I liked this film the best because it conveys a message that everyone needs to acknowledge and doesn’t gloss over any issues in our current society that require addressing and change, particularly for young women.
I liked this film, and it features a few people I recognize from other films (such as Josephine Langford) or TV shows, as a few actors starring in this film were also in the new Saved By The Bell reboot.
I rate this film with 5 stars!
