Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaJudy Blume, the author of the source novel, has a walk-on role as a woman walking a dog.
- GoofsIn the synagogue, they are using the (Conservative) Rabbinical Assembly's Siddur Lev Shalem prayer book. It was published in 2016. The cantor is a woman, but females weren't ordained as cantors until 1975 for Reform and 1987 for Conservative.
- Quotes
Margaret: I immediately wanted to take it off.
Barbara Simon: Yeah. Welcome to womanhood.
- Crazy creditsFans of "The Simpsons" especially will note the Gracie Films logo at the beginning of the film, used at the end of episodes of the aforementioned television show. Gracie Films is an American film and television production company, founded by James L. Brooks in 1986 and named for comedian Gracie Allen, formerly wife and professional partner of George Burns. James Brooks is also a producer of the film. Among other shows and movies, Gracie Films is responsible for "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" (1970-77), "Jerry McGuire" (1996), and "As Good as it Gets" (1997).
- Alternate versionsThe version of the film shown at advanced screenings featured a "Margaret Moments" segment prior to the film playing, which features women recounting their memories which are relatable to the characters/situations of the original book. Marge Simpson appears during this segment, likely because James L. Brooks/Gracie Films produced the film.

Featured review
Story wise, this movie is exceptional as it walks you through the life and journey of a young girl's daily life in elementary school, moving, summer as she struggles to find meaning and purpose.
From a Faith Based Movie perspective, this movie is not about Christianity, Judaism, Catholicism, Atheism, but a journey of discovering hope in God, as a young girl finds herself caught in a family of parents from two different religious backgrounds while facing life challenges every kid experiences and many parents experience.
Exceptional acting, directing, story and cinematography. Perhaps one of the best movies I've seen in quite a few years about average people.
Highly recommended family movie, especially for children in dual religious families where division has occurred.
One of the beautiful things about this movie, is that it doesn't attempt to give the correct answer, as most Faith Based films do, it merely shows one girls struggle as she goes looking for the answer, and the resolution at the end movie leaves one feeling hopeful.
