![]() While Poehler is well-versed in the comedy world and has brought many laughs to fans in the past, it’s quite refreshing to see her in a role not meant to make you roll on the floor. Vivian’s source of inspiration is also her mother, Lisa, played charmingly by Amy Poehler. This ignites Vivian to create Moxie, an anonymous zine that exposes sexism and highlights the realities the women of Rockport face. When a list ranking girls in demeaning categories mostly based on physical appearance is released, no one takes action except for Lucy, who is given an insulting title in the list. ![]() While Vivian is the protagonist, “Moxie” really kicks off when a new girl, Lucy (Alycia Pascual-Peña), shows up at Rockport and begins to question the way things are. No longer accepting the ubiquitous sexism at Rockport High, the girls in “Moxie,” portrayed by a talented group of young women, are a force to be reckoned with. In “Moxie,” directed by Amy Poehler and based on the novel by Jennifer Mathieu, a determined young woman, Vivan Carter (Hadley Robinson), spearheads a movement to expose and dismantle the patriarchal culture at her high school. Starting a feminist movement at your high school is one hell of a thing to put on a college application.
