Took our 9-year-old son to see MARGARET for the first time last night. (I spent the last few weeks reading him the book in preparation to see the film. When we got about halfway through it, he stopped, turned to me and said, YOU MADE A WHOLE MOVIE ABOUT BOOBS?!!!)

Thanks to the men coming out to see MARGARET. I made this film really hoping you would come see it too, and that we could all laugh together, and reminisce, and yeah, maybe even shed a tear or two remembering what it feels like to grow up, and how we never really do…
Never thought a girl getting her period would have me in tears. Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret is a wonderful & beautiful film that I LOVED. So thankful

Hi, to clarify: The show explores a totally new set of teenage lives. (Re-casting Nadine, Mr. Bruner, etc. would be insane and I’d kill myself.) Only thing it borrows from the film is its commitment to capturing adolescence realistically. The kind of show I think we need more of.
Exclusive: YouTube Red is readying a TV spinoff of Hailee Steinfeld feature ‘Edge of Seventeen’ — with a new cast and the film’s writer/director attached. Details:

@shirklesxp
. She so beautifully articulates everything I was hoping would come across in this film, it makes me wish I had her on speed dial for every time I need help putting complicated emotions into perfect, elegant words. Wow.
"Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret" isn’t merely a book about the messiness of puberty; it’s also a subtle examination of how, for women, growing up can be a never-ending experience.
