This is a movie I wish I had seen when I was 16. Feminism, intersectional feminism, white privilege, feminists shaming other feminists for not being feminist enough, how institutions (like a school) still actively uphold the patriarchy and more. A lot gets discussed and I have yet to see a movie about feminism that mentions all these different sides of it. Because there’s so much to talk about the movie can feel a little rushed, or like the topics aren’t explored in dept enough. Some parts are even a little cheesy but hey, it’s still a teen high school movie. I do genuinely hope this is a movie that reaches lots of young girls to inspire them and call them to action. Also would like to add that as a feminist punk myself it was amazing seeing so many references to the Riot Grrrl movement and hearing a lot of the music too!!! And they got The Linda Lindas to play??? Yes!!!!

A movie for our times with a call for tolerance and equality for all. The fact that its also pretty funny ensures its not as heavy as it might have been. A good film and one that will resonate with many of us - including the high school jocks who really should know better!

Here's the sad truth. These are our daughters. Your popular daughter raped by the pig who was the most popular boy in school. Nothing has changed in over 40 years. This film might be girl power, but for parents? Wake up call. Stand for our girls.

I kind of expected it to be so, but it's pretty heavy-footed. It tries to be exhaustive and cover a whole lot of social issues, with a lot of secondary characters, but of course, it doesn't have the time to go deep into every topic. As a result, it can sometimes feel preachy and overall a bit shallow, and the relationships between the characters are rushed. [spoiler] Like when Lucy kisses another Moxie girl, or when Vivian cries about her father - pretty important moments that are literally never mentioned afterwards! [/spoiler] However I feel like if I had seen that when I was in highschool, it would have been a great call to action. The sorority and female friendships are pretty heartwarming to watch and the soundtrack is great!

This is the coming of age movie that we all need. It's inclusive, calls everyone out on their BS, frustratingly recognisable, witty and just empowering. This is a must see! BTW we all need someone like 'Hands' in our life.
