Are You There, God? It’s Me Margaret is set to premier April 28th, 2023, which is an adaptation of Judy Blume’s novel of the same title. The story follows 11-year-old Margaret Simon’s transition into womanhood and explores the changes in her body and belief system. The film expands on the book’s themes and characters, particularly the different approaches to motherhood and the stigma surrounding menstruation. I sat down for an interview with Kelly Fremon Craig, the film’s director, who discusses the inspiration for the different mothering styles and how the film tackles issues related to adolescence and spirituality.
