Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret. Because wow, this movie had me riding an emotional rollercoaster of nostalgia, awkward memories, and soft, bittersweet vibes. If you’ve ever wondered what it feels like to relive the messy, beautiful journey of becoming a woman, this film gets it. Like, really gets it.

First Loves, First Periods, and First Awkward Everything

Margaret’s story doesn’t just tell those moments, it feels them. From the awkward bra shopping to navigating confusing family dynamics, it’s all so relatable. Like, was this based on my diary from sixth grade? Judy Blume really said timeless.

Remembering the first time you fell in love or became a woman can be bittersweet. Watching this movie, I couldn’t help but think back to all those cringy, emotional, and sometimes magical moments. First crushes that made my heart skip a beat. First friendships that felt like forever. And, of course, the infamous first period, a moment that’s part rite of passage, part “why is this happening to me?”

Nostalgia Meets Humor

What makes this movie such a gem is how easy it is to watch. It’s not some overly heavy-handed coming-of-age drama. Instead, it’s light, funny, and full of heart. Watching Margaret’s journey felt like sitting down with an old friend who knows exactly what you’ve been through.

There’s this perfect balance between the innocence of being a kid and the oh-so-real struggles of growing up. It’s like one second you’re giggling at a scene where she’s practicing kissing on her pillow, and the next you’re getting misty-eyed because you remember how hard it was to figure yourself out at that age. A whole mood, honestly.

Reflecting on Your Own Journey

Here’s the thing, this movie sneaks up on you. One minute, you’re just vibing, thinking, “Oh, this is cute.” Next, you’re full-on reflecting on your own journey as a woman. It’s a beautiful reminder of how far you’ve come, from the kid who worried about being the last one to get her period to the woman who’s learned to embrace every part of herself. (Okay, maybe not every part, but we’re getting there.)

Margaret’s story isn’t just her own, it’s all of ours in some way. It reminds you of the messy, sweet, and sometimes bittersweet milestones that shaped who you are today. Like, shoutout to young me for surviving all that awkwardness. You did great, babe.

A Love Letter to Growing Up

Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret is the kind of movie that hugs your heart and makes you laugh all in one go. It’s nostalgic, relatable, and so easy to watch. It’ll have you reflecting on your own journey with a mix of pride and maybe a little “what was I even doing back then?” energy. But isn’t that the beauty of growing up?

If you need a feel-good film that reminds you of where you’ve been and celebrates who you’ve become, this one’s it. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m off to call my mom and tell her I appreciate her. Again.
