Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret. movie review (2023) | Roger Ebert
Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret is a tender, heartfelt coming-of-age film that beautifully adapts Judy Blume’s beloved and once-controversial novel. Directed by Kelly Fremon Craig, the story follows 11-year-old Margaret as she navigates the awkward, emotional terrain of puberty, friendship, and faith after moving to a new town. Abby Ryder Fortson delivers a wonderfully nuanced performance, supported by a standout cast including Rachel McAdams and Kathy Bates. With warmth, humour, and emotional honesty, the film captures the universal confusion of growing up, making it a nostalgic and resonant watch for audiences of all ages
