Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret. - Reviews

If only for the purpose of supporting young girls or today’s women, who are often made to feel weird for simply having functioning systems in their bodies, we have a new comfort coming-of-age movie adaptation...

A charming adaptation of the Judy Blume classic.

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

...ultimately, this film belongs to McAdams, whose incandescent performance should be remembered not just as end-of-the-year lists start to roll in but also as perhaps her most accomplished performance yet. 

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

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.

...a movie that, like its source, will amicably report for duty in many young persons’ lives for generations to come.

Rachel McAdams stars in a funny, heartfelt look at a young girl taking her first steps into womanhood.

...a sweet tale of a young girl figuring out religion, boys and puberty.

Warm, emotionally agile Judy Blume adaptation.

...plenty to love here. The straightforward earnestness of the material may take a minute to settle into but a magnetic cast and heartfelt writing ensure that this is basically impossible to resist.

...en vigtig og velspillet film, der lever op til bogversionens klassikerstatus.

Beskrivelsen af Margarets udvikling ind i teenagelivet er charmerende, og Abby Ryder Fortson er et sandt fund til rollen...
