Literary Guild of St. Simons Island presents Are You There God, It’s Me Margaret? (Rated PG13; Running time 116 minutes; closed captions)
USA, 2023, directed by Kelly Fremon Craig. The film adaptation of Judy Bloom’s 1970 blockbuster coming-of-age novel is a quiet buster all its own. Rarely has cinema captured an 11-year-old marching toward puberty with such grace and dignity. In the film’s road to maturation, three generations of women will face change just as child/teen Margaret does. Abby Ryder Fortson plays Margaret with a realism that looks as if she were always Margaret.
