In order to adapt Blume's ground-breaking book, Kelly Fremon Craig, the author and director of the 2016 smash hit The Edge of Seventeen, returns to the coming-of-age genre. The plot follows Margaret (Abby Ryder Fortson) as she must cope with the chaos of adolescence while being abruptly uprooted from her life in NYC to the suburbs of New Jersey. Margaret adjusts to life by relying on the unshakable love of her artistic mother Barbara (Rachel McAdams), her devoted grandma Sylvia (Kathy Bates), and worried father Herb (Benny Safdie).

The kind of time-honored tale that fans have been eagerly anticipating for years is Are You There God? It has definitely been worth the wait with writers and director Kelly Fremon Craig. Craig's sequel to her first, with its stellar ensemble and sensitive directing, is very much perfect. She specifically adds to the charm of the book by including those significant life events and presenting them in a way that many can identify with, inspiring others to think about their own experiences. While some coming-of-age films seem forced and unreasonable, audiences will naturally gravitate towards Craig's genuine desire to examine girlhood and religion.

The sincerity that underlies this feature's inherent charm and humour is one of its best features. Especially during its different stages, including crushes, puberty, and comprehending religion, girlhood is frequently dreadful. As she emphasises through her direction and writing, Craig is aware of this. These ideas also have a certain air of difficulty, but the director conveys them to her audience without passing judgement and with the added benefit of humour. No matter who the spectator is, it is highly effective and increases how much you will love watching.

God, are you there? An excellent cast helps to make It's Me, Margaret a memorable and irresistibly appealing adaptation. As the adored Margaret Simon, Abby Ryder Fortson, best known for playing Cassie Lang in the Ant-Man films, is simply amazing. Her complex performance is exceptional and is guaranteed to make her one of the young actors and actresses to watch out for. The character of Sylvia, played by Kathy Bates, skillfully adds some humour to the narrative. Lastly, rachel McAdams as Margaret's mother is astounding. Here, she gives a performance from the heart, and because of a fantastic performance, it's really simple to care about how her character changes.

With a tale like "Are You There, God?" A fantastic movie adaptation of It's Me, Margaret would only be the next logical step. Thankfully, Craig manages to convey the allure that has enchanted so many people throughout the years. With unfailing earnestness and without passing judgement on any course of action, the novel tackles the ambiguities surrounding religion, sex education, and girlhood. Furthermore, it tenderly and honestly exposes the side of humanity that society frequently seeks to conceal with these ideas. And because of that, everyone should watch this movie because it is every bit as valuable as the book from which it is adapted.
