Cinema: Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret

Upset about leaving her grandmother and friends behind in the city, Margaret also has to deal with the stress of a new school, finding new friends and the everyday pressures and confusion of early adolescence.

A long-overdue film adaptation of Judy Blume’s beloved 1970 novel, Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret is a winning coming-of-age comedy-drama about one young girl’s experiences of becoming a teenager and her parents’ messy but always well-intentioned efforts to do the best for their family. Refreshingly honest and humorous, this is a delightful film that’ll appeal to teenagers and adults alike.
