Hadley Robinson had never heard of Bikini Kill before she was cast in Moxie. Directed by Amy Poehler and based on Jennifer Mathieu’s 2017 young adult novel of the same name, the Netflix movie follows Robinson’s Vivian, a shy 16-year-old who sparks a rebellion at her high school when she starts anonymously publishing a feminist zine. Vivian is inspired, in part, by her discovery of a box in her mom’s closet loaded with riot grrrl paraphernalia — and the moment she hears the opening screech of feedback in the...

Some people have done astounding things in lockdown. They’ve written books, learned languages, got fit, taken to crafting, or they are scientists, key workers, people saving the world every day. Or just people surviving in the worst circumstances and not giving up. Hats off to them.
Others of us after a year of varying levels of lockdown aren’t doing quite so well. Apathy has set in. Cooking, eating and washing up feels like never ending Sisyphean torture. Wearing clothes other than pyjamas counts as an achievement. Leaving the house to go to shops feels like an activity that should warrant sponsorship. For some of us it’s all got a bit much.
So when Moxie, directed by Amy Poehler and based on the book by Jennifer Mathieu, landed on Netflix, we could just about be bothered to press play.
Thank god. Moxie is a movie that calls for...

A quiet student finds her voice in print, battling everyday sexism at her high school in Poehler’s forthright but fun #MeToo drama
A breezy tale of riot grrrl power passed down from mother to daughter, Amy Poehler’s return to the director’s chair (after 2019’s Wine Country) is a winningly optimistic high-school romp with timely #MeToo-era themes. Adapted by screenwriters Tamara Chestna and Dylan Meyer from the hit YA novel by Jennifer Mathieu, it may lack the depth of Eighth Grade or the punch of Booksmart, but it’s still blessed with enough post-punk energy to raise a smile, several chuckles and the occasional fist-punching cheer.
Hadley Robinson is Vivian, a head-down student (“It’s so nice not to be on anyone’s radar”) voted “most obedient” in the crass list compiled by high-school jocks, grotesquely ranking girls in categories including “best rack” and “most bangable”. Like the majority of her female schoolmates,...

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.

Photo: 'Moxie'/Netflix In the new Netflix film ‘Moxie’, directed by Amy Poehler, high school junior Vivian (Hadley Robinson) becomes fed up with her school’s sexist culture and makes an anonymous zine called Moxie about it. The zine ignites a revolution that begins with acts of solidarity among the students and grows to force the apathetic administration to take notice and eventual action in changing the atmosphere of the high school. Based on the novel of the same name by Jennifer Mathieu, ‘Moxie’ depicts Vivian’s “coming-of-rage story” that may inspire other young women to speak up and speak out.

‘Bad Girls Never Say Die’ Excerpt: ‘Moxie’ Author Reimagines ‘The Outsiders’ In New Book (Exclusive)
Author S. E. Hinton’s 1967 coming-of-age novel The Outsiders told the story of a 14-year-old boy who feels like an outsider and struggles with the right and wrong in society. But now Hinton’s story is being reimagined from a female perspective by Moxie author Jennifer Mathieu.

Blame suburban life: Former riot grrl Lisa (Amy Poehler) has mellowed since her days as a patriarchy-smashing punk-rock princess. She’s raised her only child, the sweet-natured Vivian (Hadley Robinson), on a steady diet of Bikini Kill lyrics and feminist bon mots, but Viv has never felt the call to tear down the status quo. That’s about to change. When the earnest “Moxie” — which Poehler also directed — opens, unassuming Vivian is stuck in a terrible nightmare, trapped in the woods, terrified, running, and literally unable to use her own voice to save herself. , and it seems telling that Viv’s nightmare unfolds the night before she head back to Rockport High School for her junior year.
Rockport High, like many an on-screen high school before it, is defined by its many cliques, and neither Vivian nor her best pal Claudia (Lauren Tsai) fit in any of them. Bookish and smart,...

When Netflix announced they were adapting Moxie into a feature film, fans of Jennifer Mathieu's original novel were hype. I was excited, too. Even though I haven't read the book, I wanted to love Moxie, as it has all the elements I look for in a film: a fantastic soundtrack, filled with everything from Bikini Kill and The Linda Lindas to Tierra Whack and Princess Nokia; a stellar cast featuring Alycia Pascual-Peña, Nico Hiraga, Hadley Robinson, Josie Totah, Patrick Schwarzenegger, Josephine Langford, Amy Poehler, Ike Barinholtz; and more. Plus, it was Poehler's directorial debut, and I was very interested to see where her eye was as a director. Instead, what made people love the book seemed to fall flat when brought to life on screen.

2021 continues to be a rollercoaster for movie lovers everywhere, with a once promising Spring 2021 going much the same way as 2020 with delays, release date shifts, and growing apprehension. Still, even if the first few months of 2021 will look much like the last 12, there are reasons to smile. For starters, a new Walt Disney Animation Studios project, Raya and the Last Dragon, is about to premiere on Disney+; Eddie Murphy is finally reprising the role of Prince Akeem in Coming 2 America; and there is the chance to at last watch something called… the Snyder Cut?
Here’s what’s coming.

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 Amy Poehler’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.
Marking the multi-hyphenate Poehler’s return to the director’s chair after her casually comforting “Wine Country,” the good-natured dramedy “Moxie” isn’t nearly as sharp as “Mean Girls,” lacking its hilarious wit and unwavering bite, often erring on the side of didacticism and broadness in similarly charting a fed-up young woman’s awakening against her high school’s hostile, victimizing culture. Still, it’s a welcome entry into a familiar genre that will resonate with young audiences burdened by the unwritten rules of their respective educational institutions.

Poehler’s female-empowerment film is like Booksmart or Election – with all the humour and satire stripped out
A high-school movie directed by Amy Poehler, the SNL comedy blackbelt who starred in Parks and Recreation? And who is incidentally the longtime performing partner of Tina Fey, who created the high-school classic Mean Girls? Is this going to be hilarious, or what?
Sadly no. Solemnly based on a novel by YA author Jennifer Mathieu, Moxie could be called Nice Girls or Mutually Supportive Girls. Poehler herself has a small role as the single mom of a smart, lonely teenage girl called Vivian (Hadley Robinson) who is best friends with Claudia (Lauren Tsai), but whose intimacy with her is about to be damaged by her admiration for supercool new girl Lucy (Alycia Pascual-Peña), and her growing romantic situation with the impeccably right-on and pro-feminist supportive guy Seth (Nico Hiraga).

As Amy Poehler and Tina Fey signed off after hosting the Golden Globes on Sunday night, we caught a glimpse of something drawn on Poehler's hand as she waved at the camera. It was only visible for a moment, but it was clear enough to get us wondering what she had on her hand. Turns out, Poehler was actually representing an upcoming project of hers.
The doodle on Poehler's hand is a pattern featuring a star, which is part of the key art for Moxie, her upcoming Netflix movie. Moxie, which Poehler is directing and producing in addition to having a costarring role, is a teen dramedy based on a novel of the same name by Jennifer Mathieu.

"I don't like being voted 'Best Ass'!!" Netflix has launched the first official trailer for the film Moxie, a new high school comedy directed by comedian Amy Poehler (her second directing gig after Wine Country a few years back). Fed up with the sexist and toxic status quo at her high school, a shy 16-year-old named Vivian finds inspiration from her mother's rebellious past and anonymously publishes a zine that sparks a school-wide, coming-of-rage revolution. Hell yes! Say it louder! This sounds like a rad update on Election. Adapted from the novel of the same name by Jennifer Mathieu. The film stars Hadley Robinson as Vivian, with a big ensemble cast: Lauren Tsai, Patrick Schwarzenegger, Nico Hiraga, Sydney Park, Josephine Langford, Clark Gregg, Josie Totah, Alycia Pascual-Peña, Anjelika Washington, Charlie Hall, Sabrina Haskett with Ike Barinholtz, Amy Poehler and Marcia Gay Harden.

Amy Poehler is here to start a revolution — in her teen daughter’s high school. In the first trailer for her film “Moxie” that’s all scored to the classic Bikini Kill song, a group of teenage “Rebel Girls” work to disrupt the sexist norms at their high school by starting a punk rock zine.
Hadley Robinson stars as Poehler’s 16-year-old daughter in the film who tries to keep her head down to avoid pestering and harassment by the jock kids who look to rank girls by their body parts and bangability. But she’s woken up when a new student played by Alycia Pascual-Pena helps her to realize that girls in high school don’t have to put up with this stuff.
Together they’re inspired by her mother’s rebellious past to publish an anonymous underground zine called Moxie and become the center of a feminist rebellion.
