Moving house as a child can seem like the end of the world, and this coming-of-age dramedy available on Netflix portrays this feeling perfectly. And, with the Easter break finally upon us, Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret is the perfect way to kick back.
You might recognise the rather wordy title from Judy Blume’s beloved novel of the same name that hit the shelves in 1970. It follows 11-year-old Margaret (portrayed in the movie by Abby Ryder Fortson) as she is plucked from her life in New York to move to New Jersey, leaving her friends and grandmother (excellently played by Kathy Bates).
