The Book
Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret. hit shelves in 1970, when Blume was 32. Over the course of an academic year, the story follows Margaret Simon, a carefree New Yorker uprooted to Farbrook, New Jersey. No longer within walking distance of her grandma (and best friend), she asks God to help her confront peer pressure and religious uncertainty. Blume still tears up when recalling the praise of the book. “It was the first time that I allowed myself to think, Maybe I can do this,” she says.

Watched this great coming of age film with my granddaughter this summer ready for high school. Covers all the mysteries of fitting in, growing up, body image and periods. Great film, full of humour. My granddaughter has watched it several times on her one since.
I watched this movie with my stepmom and we both loved it. This movie is based on a book by Judy Blume which we both read when we were kids. It is a story about Margret who has to move with her parents to a different state and starting over. She starts to talk to God and worries when she will get her period and become a young lady. There is some humor in it, and at the end she finally gets it. This movie is perfect for girls 11 to 13 years old.
I’ve seen most films that have come out this year & will be doing brief reviews on each one but this is by far the best one I have seen.
That may sound quite weird that a 27 year old guy says his favourite film of 2023 is about a girl going teenagehood, but having grown up with a grandma almost exactly the same as the one in this film played by Kathy Bates who deserves a Best Supporting Actress Oscar, I found this film so relatable & a refreshing reminder of films which came out pre-socail media & cellphones. The script is sublime & the direction is just as wonderful
I’d recommend to anyone who loves coming of age films or cried at CODA or Boyhood because this is in the same camp, only bette
I’ve never read the book so I don’t know how closely the movie aligns with the original story. I enjoyed this movie but Nancy’s character really didn’t appeal to me. Her dialogue wasn’t believable and jarred with the other, more natural, speech. Not the fault of the actress, the script was weak. The overarching story was good though.
Magic pure magic. Abby Ryder Fortson is delightful in Judy Blume’s marvellous creation about the pains of being a pre teen girl. Margaret is a beautifully identifiable character and the film is a joy. Thankyou so much.
As an adult, the earlier points of interest concerning parents and Grandmother’s story line were soon dropped in favour of dwelling on the subject of a girls first period.
It is for an age group that this topic would appeal to though so fair enough. Maybe I just watched too many trailers showing the best bits.
I hope my younger relatives will view it and enjoy the film from their prospective.
