Review of Moxie (2021)

By Molly Freeman (149) for Screen Rant (892) on 12 Mar 2021

Moxie has some heart and teeth as its Riot Grrrl-inspired teens smash the patriarchy, but it's more love letter to Gen X than a call to arms…

Review of Moxie (2021)

By Robbie Collin (1,612) for The Telegraph (1,120) on 12 Mar 2021

One hopes the golden age isn’t quite over yet, although as Moxie galumphs from one glib, soulless scene to the next, it’s hard not to fear…

Review of Moxie (2021)

By Mark Kermode (1,002) for The Observer (UK) (826) on 07 Mar 2021

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…

Review of Moxie (2021)

By Tara Brady (805) for The Irish Times (483) on 05 Mar 2021

As a love letter from grown-up Riot grrrls to their growing-up daughters, it’s a lovely cross-generational gesture…

Review of Moxie (2021)

By Ty Burr (2,612) for Boston Globe (6,852) on 05 Mar 2021

True to its title, Moxie has a lot of moxie, and it’s an easy watch, smartly acted by a crew of young talents…

Review of Moxie (2021)

By Johnny Oleksinski (478) for New York Post (6,650) on 04 Mar 2021

A frustratingly bland young-adult feminist comedy without good jokes, Moxie is a cross between a hokey ’90s family sitcom and a vastly superior…

Review of Moxie (2021)

By Brian Lowry (913) for CNN (497) on 04 Mar 2021

Late twists ratchet up the drama, but also make the movie feel as it has rushed toward a resolution…

Review of Moxie (2021)

By Joe Morgenstern (2,395) for Wall Street Journal (3,071) on 04 Mar 2021

If there’s anything more you need to know before deciding whether to watch this, I should tell you that it’s nothing like “Eighth Grade,”…

Review of Moxie (2021)

By Chris Hewitt (1) (113) for Empire (3,446) on 03 Mar 2021

Time will tell if it’s worthy of being talked about in the same breath as Easy A, Clueless, Booksmart and the like, but Amy Poehler’s teen…

Review of Moxie (2021)

By Sheila O'malley (474) for RogerEbert.com (5,563) on 03 Mar 2021

Moxie doesn't have the satirical bite of, say, Mean Girls, nor does it have a particularly punk rock energy, but Poehler does an admirable…

Review of Moxie (2021)

By Aparita Bhandari (53) for The Globe and Mail (Toronto) (4,018) on 03 Mar 2021

It’s tricky to give such a layered glimpse of high school in a movie that keeps its pace at a decent click…

Review of Moxie (2021)

By Roger Moore (6,008) for Movie Nation (3,875) on 03 Mar 2021

It’s still an intensely likable and watchable dramedy, even if it never quite reaches that “generation defining comedy” thing…

Review of Moxie (2021)

By Kate Erbland (681) for IndieWire (3,631) on 03 Mar 2021

The film is entertaining enough for most viewers, although some audiences might balk at a perceived lack of comedy from comedic superstar Poehler…

Review of Moxie (2021)

By Stephanie Zacharek (2,333) for Time (1,811) on 03 Mar 2021

Moxie kicks off as a shout-out to riot grrrl spirit, only to give us an ending written in the cursive script of an inspirational mug…

Review of Moxie (2021)

By Jen Chaney (126) for New York Magazine (Vulture) (3,519) on 03 Mar 2021

It’s obvious that Poehler and her colleagues have taken great care to impart all the right civic and social lessons, and that’s good…

Review of Moxie (2021)

By Jeannette Catsoulis (1,537) for The New York Times (9,847) on 03 Mar 2021

Unfocused and too often unbelievable, Amy Poehler’s Moxie feels like a battle between two competing visions: go-girl crowd-pleaser and serious…

Review of Moxie (2021)

By Richard Roeper (2,737) for Chicago Sun-Times (7,580) on 02 Mar 2021

This is a film that pulls off the difficult balancing act of carrying an important and uplifting message while delivering consistent laughs…

Review of Moxie (2021)

By Gary Goldstein (1,089) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 02 Mar 2021

For all its energy and charm, this overlong film contains its share of undermining missteps…

Review of Moxie (2021)

By Nina Metz (31) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 02 Mar 2021

The end result is a movie that comes across as disappointingly vacant, a jumbled collection of good intentions gone wrong…

Review of Moxie (2021)

By Jenn Adams (13) for Consequence of Sound (1,431) on 01 Mar 2021

Moxie is an inspirational and cathartic journey, representing a dilemma most feminists have faced at one point in their lives…
