Adapted from Judy Blume's controversial 1970 novel - for its candid study of then-taboo subjects, including teen sexuality and interfaith marriage - Are you there God? It's me, Margaret explores teenage girlhood with insight, humour and empathy through the character of Margaret when her family moves from New York to New Jersey.

The film captures an 11-year-old marching toward puberty with grace and dignity, as Margaret navigates new friends, feelings and the beginning of adolescence. It features a fine lead performance from Abby Ryder Fortson, alongside Rachel McAdams and Kathy Bates, as her mother and grandmother respectively. 

The coming-of-age comedy-drama - which the author, Judy Blume, considers better than her novel - was critically acclaimed and went on to win 23 awards.
