Crescendo Juntas

A touching and tender adaptation that does justice to a book which means so much to so many. An enduring, superbly performed triumph.

...wonderfully, warmly made coming-of-age comedy.

A charming adaptation of the Judy Blume classic.

It’s all terribly scary, yes, but in Blume and Fremon Craig’s hands, growing up is also heart-stoppingly beautiful.

...a welcome, nostalgic throwback to simpler times.

It embraces humor, messiness and pain, and takes each bump in the road as seriously as the last. And, after going through the hellish trials and tribulations of puberty, I dare say it’s the movie that we all deserve.
