Are you there, God? It’s Me, Margaret is a 2023 compilation of Judy Blume’s 1970 novel of the same name. However, the movie has a modern twist in 2023, with the main lead, Margaret, fighting a modern moral paradigm, making it relatable to current audiences. The movie is a vivacious and reviving narrative about the struggles of puberty. In the Lionsgate adaptation for the big screen, 11-year-old Margaret (Abby Ryder Fortson) and her mother, Barbara (Rachel McAdams), leave New York City behind and move to the suburbs of New Jersey, where they try to relive and rewire their lives. The movie is a beautiful representation of the choices they make.
