It’s been 15 years since screenwriter Tina Fey brought peace to the teenage girl world with the groundbreaking “Mean Girls.” Now it’s her frequent creative partner’s turn to stride the hallways of a contemporary high school, searching for harmony and justice among the heightened emotions and high-stakes conundrums of young adults.
“Moxie” follow in the footsteps of the vivacious “Booksmart,” the sex-positive “Blockers” and even refreshingly femsplain-y “Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising” as a Gen-Z-centric movie with progressive ideals around race, gender and identity. For the most part, the movie makes good on its liberal premise, even though it all conventionally resolves into a straight white character’s coming-of-age tale eventually.
Soon enough, Moxie starts a movement, first manifested by small acts of camaraderie like hand-drawn tattoos on random ink-stained arms, and then, by actual meetings and actions in protest. Determined to keep her identity as the publisher a secret, Vivian in the meantime struggles to toggle between the uprising she instigated, an immensely charming romance with the eagerly open-minded Seth and her faltering friendship with Claudia, who chooses to stay out of the Moxie business to avoid trouble.
