Moxie is a 2021 comedy-drama about a 16-year-old girl who is inspired to publish a feminist magazine that calls out sexism and other heinous acts within her school. The movie was directed by Amy Poehler and distributed by Netflix, with Hadley Robinson playing the main character Vivian. It was fairly well received by critics, though some took objection to the way in which the story was told.
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 call to arms for Gen Z.

This movie packs a punch, showing the perspective of women and girls who face discrimination and violence. The examples of sexism are painfully realistic. I appreciate how diverse the cast was. Overall, it's a great movie.
