Before the feature adaptation Are You There, God? It’s Me, Margaret is released into theaters, this is the exact type of film that works as a primer for newcomers and a reflective portrait for those who are already more than familiar with her. Though certainly not as groundbreaking as the author herself, it more than gets the job done in both profiling her and discussing the vast impact her work has had. While a work like this could easily fall into being just a rote recounting of her life and career, it manages to bring a greater texture to the experience. If the past week has shown us anything, there is a distinct value to a documentary like Judy Blume Forever letting the iconic American author speak in her own words.
