Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret

"Fortson’s Margaret proves to be a protagonist who is as incidentally funny as she is authentic."

"This adaptation is an answered prayer."

"This is a funny, sweet, heartfelt exploration of pubescent self-discovery that lives up to its namesake."

"Craig is respectful in bringing this beloved novel to screen — too respectful, given how cautious Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret can feel."

"Ultimately, this film belongs to McAdams, whose incandescent performance should be remembered... as perhaps her most accomplished performance yet."

"Kelly Fremon Craig is two-for-two with another wonderfully, warmly made coming-of-age comedy."

"(The film) is true to the book’s heart, but also its own (mostly) wonderful thing."

"An enduring, superbly performed triumph."

"A kinder, gentler take on the Judy Blume classic that skips some of the straight talk about growing up."

"The film version is an utter delight, a loving adaptation that's both true to the book and endearingly fresh."
