Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

Moxie (2021)

Wallflower high school student gets inspired by the new girl in her class and starts an anonymous 'zine to fight the status quo keeping the girls down and the boys at the top. She's got a good head on her shoulders and a great example in her mother (Amy Poehler) who was definitely a rebel girl in her youth. 

While it's a necessary story, especially for its target audience, I found the lead to be a little milquetoasty... but maybe that's the point? That anyone can start a revolution -- they just have to see the need and take the leap.
