Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret

When her family moves from the city to the suburbs, 11-year-old Margaret navigates new friends, new feelings, and the beginning of adolescence. Effervescent and refreshingly frank about the travails of puberty, this long-awaited adaptation does full justice to Judy Blume’s seminal novel beloved by generations. Written and directed by Kelly Fremon Craig (The Edge of Seventeen) and produced by Academy Award-winner James L. Brooks, the film stars Rachel McAdams, Kathy Bates, and a delightful Abby Ryder Fortson as Margaret. For daughter, mother and grandmother, questions of identity, one’s place in the world, and what brings meaning to a life will draw them closer together than ever before.
