Sam, who surfs and swims and hikes, is suddenly bed-ridden and she cannot shake off the resultant negativity which looms over her, affecting her three young sons and a loving husband. But things change when her eldest son brings home an injured magpie and as this fledgling, christened Penguin, hops around the house, trying to regain its strength to fly again, Sam finally accepts her situation and tries to live again.

Moxie

Cast: Hadley Robinson, Lauren Tsai, Alycia Pascual-Pena.

Director: Amy Poehler.

Image

Moxie revolves around a typical American high school, with insensitive jocks and pretty young girls vying for attention — while the protagonist, as always, is a shy introvert (Vivian) who prefers to avoid all the drama. But things change soon enough as Vivian, inspired by her mother’s rebellious past, kickstarts a quiet movement through a zine that highlights the inherent sexism in the school. More girls join in and the anonymous Moxie becomes an unlikely hero, leading the revolution for gender equality.
