ComingSoon spoke with Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret writer and director Kelly Fremon Craig about the movie adaptation.
“Raised by a Christian mother and a Jewish father, an adolescent girl starts to ask questions about religion and faith,” reads theTyler Treese: I saw in an interview that Judy Blume said that the movie is even better than the book. To receive such high praise from the original author — what did that mean for you?Oh my gosh, I feel like I’m still trying to process it. [Laugh]. It’s such a kind compliment. I’m just so happy Judy’s happy because that was my number one goal [in] making the movie.
I think when I hear Judy tell the story, she talks about these three elements coming together. One of them being, I wrote her a letter and, in that letter, I just poured my heart out, told her how much her work had meant to me, that I found her when I was 11, at a time when I really needed to know that I wasn’t the only one feeling as awkward as I was. Then it turned out that she’d actually seen my first movie, which was also just mind-blowing. She was like, “I saw your movie.
She has something about her that you just root for her the minute you look into her eyes. She has this wonderful vulnerability and soulfulness, and she’s funny — she’s really quick on her feet. So she made me laugh, she made me cry, and she was the full spectrum of Margaret. It was hard to find somebody who really encapsulated her, and Abby walked through the door, and she was it. She was Margaret.
