I\u2019m glad I\u2019ve survived that phase, though war flashbacks still haunt me. The unsightly <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/singapore\/best-acne-treatments-in-singapore-for-spots-acne-pimples-and-blemishes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">acne<\/a>, unwanted hair growth, and hormonal changes may be par for the course, but I wish I\u2019d known about them sooner. That way, I\u2019d be better prepared for what was to come. But I had to learn it the hard way &#8211; and that\u2019s what 11-year-old Margaret goes through in this movie. As I sat through the film, it felt like I was re-experiencing my adolescent years, gender notwithstanding. Warning: mild spoilers ahead.<\/p>\n<h3>Are You There God? It\u2019s Me, Margaret review: The start of something new<\/h3>\n<div class=\"video-wrapper\"><iframe title=\"Are You There God? It\u2019s Me, Margaret.

We see Margaret Simon having the time of her life: basking in nature, laughing, and having fun with her friends. She returns to New York a happy girl, excitedly greeting her mother, Barbara, and grandmother, Sylvia.<\/p>\n<p>The ladies return to their apartment, where Margaret finds out her parents are uprooting from the city to New Jersey. She\u2019s understandably upset as her folks try to appease her. Her grandmother is unhappy but resigned to the decision. Imagine relocating from <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/singapore\/sentosa-singapore-things-to-do\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sentosa<\/a> Cove to Ulu Pandan \u2013 that\u2019s probably how Margaret feels. This is when she starts having one-sided conversations with God.<\/p>\n<p>As the trio settle into their suburban home, a neighbour pops over. Meet Nancy Wheeler, who quickly befriends Margaret. This is when the latter first interacts with Moose Freed and develops a crush on him. You can literally see her making heart eyes at him! Ah, young love.<\/p>\n<p>The next day, our gal goes to her new school and is welcomed into Nancy\u2019s group. They form a secret clique, where they hang out after school to talk about their crushes and exercise to boost their bust size. This marks the start of Margaret\u2019s journey into puberty. However, it\u2019s not just her experiencing changes.<\/p>\n<p>Barbara resolves to be a stay-at-home parent to spend time with her daughter while Herb, her husband and Margaret\u2019s father, goes to work. We see Barbara grappling with her loss of identity and trying to figure out what to do with so much free time on her hands. Meanwhile, Sylvia\u2019s yearning for her granddaughter. She rings the house every day to speak to Margaret and make future plans.<\/p>\n<h3>Girl gone (not quite) wild<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_279055\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-279055\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-279055 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/08\/are-you-there-god-its-me-margaret-girl-gang-lionsgate-900x643.jpg\" alt=\"Are You There God?

Writer-director Kelly Fremon Craig deftly tackles these scenes with humour and lightheartedness, making them feel less documentary-like.<\/p>\n<p>The theatre erupts with laughter at the right places as our heroine navigates the scenarios with earnest innocence. Abby Ryder Fortson, our lead, is a joy to watch. Normally, I\u2019d write off young characters as they\u2019re annoying and can weigh a show down, but Abby as Margaret won me over. Kudos!<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not just puberty that Margaret has to deal with: she also has to tackle a year-long research assignment on her religious identity. While her father\u2019s a Jew and her mother\u2019s a Christian, they choose not to raise her in either faith until she\u2019s ready to decide. Margaret asks Sylvia to take her to a synagogue during a weekend visit; she also attends mass with her friend Janie Loomis. Of course, there are her conversations with God too.<\/p>\n<p>As someone still coming to terms with his religious beliefs, I wasn\u2019t put off by this development. I mean, the movie\u2019s called Are You There God? It\u2019s Me, Margaret! Divinity is the film\u2019s core and it didn\u2019t feel overtly preachy.<\/p>\n<h3>Finally finding the reasons to believe<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_279056\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-279056\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-279056 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/08\/are-you-there-god-its-me-margaret-bra-shopping-lionsgate-900x643.jpg\" alt=\"Are You There God?

She gets told off by a classmate everyone ostracises for being more developed physically. Her planned Florida trip to visit Sylvia is cancelled due to the arrival of Barbara\u2019s parents \u2013 Margaret\u2019s maternal grandparents \u2013 whom she\u2019s never met. We learn the reason behind this, which leads to an argument that causes the tween to yell at the adults.<\/p>\n<p>Now, I won\u2019t completely spoil the last act for you, but this is when our lead character comes into her own and doesn\u2019t let others influence her. She\u2019s fully aware of Nancy\u2019s red flags and breaks through to Moose. And she finally gets what she\u2019s been asking God for. There are tears, excitement and relief. Barbara&#8217;s happy ending also impacted me and made me reflect. The story may be about a girl on the precipice of puberty, but it\u2019s relatable to adults too. It\u2019s as if Kelly is telling us not to dismiss it as another teen flick!<\/p>\n<p>The biggest lesson I gleaned from the film is when Margaret submitted her assignment to her teacher. It highlighted that, above anything else, you should have faith in yourself so you can go forth and take on all challenges. It doesn\u2019t matter if you succeed, so long as your self-belief never wavers.<\/p>\n<h3>An uplifting film that\u2019ll bring a smile to your face<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_279057\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-279057\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-279057 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/08\/are-you-there-god-its-me-margaret-the-simons-lionsgate-900x643.jpg\" alt=\"Are You There God?

It\u2019s Me Margaret is a ray of sunshine that treads familiar ground for moviegoers. The movie may be set in America in the 1970s, but it showcases evergreen topics that are talked about today, even though we have no definitive ways of dealing with them.<\/p>\n<p>I daresay it\u2019s an accurate depiction, especially in Singapore where schools are still unsure how to properly <a href=\"https:\/\/honeykidsasia.com\/puberty-when-and-how-to-talk-to-kids\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">discuss puberty with adolescents<\/a>. Scenes of the girls taking advice from books and magazines, and even the menstruation portion, are things that we\u2019ve done in the throes of puberty.<\/p>\n<p>That said, even though the movie feels relatable, some parts may not ring true to our Asian society. I mean, do you recall your parents openly talking about these things with you? Perhaps it\u2019s a yes for some, but it definitely wasn\u2019t the case for me. Also, I can\u2019t speak about periods and growing boobs since my knowledge is limited to anecdotes from those open to discussing them.<\/p>\n<p>While Abby did a marvellous job with her portrayal, I reserve my praise for Rachel McAdams, who plays her mother. Her acting is natural and effortless, and her crying scenes really touched me. Kathy Bates is a little underutilised in this film but still powers through whenever she appears on the screen. A special shoutout to her wigs: they look great and feel like actual characters themselves.<\/p>\n<p>Even though I didn\u2019t read the book the film is adapted from, I feel compelled to pick it up now. I\u2019m unsure if I\u2019ll find anything new from it\u2026 but maybe I\u2019ll reconnect with my inner adolescent. If that happens, I\u2019ll tell him everything will turn out fine \u2013 just trust the process and have faith in yourself.<\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/theprojector.sg\/films-and-events\/are-you-there-god-it%E2%80%99s-me-margaret\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Are You There God?
