“Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret” is one of the first books I remember reading where I felt like the author really understood what it was like to be me. Judy Blume’s beloved book has been considered a rite of passage for many young girls, and the pressure of adapting the work for the screen had to be enormous for writer-director Kelly Fremon Craig.

Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret is a heartfelt coming-of-age film that explores the relatable journey of a young girl navigating puberty, friendships, and spiritual identity. While the story flows smoothly and offers valuable life lessons, several conflicts—like Margaret’s misunderstandings with friends and her spiritual search—lack satisfying resolution. Despite minor historical setting flaw...
