Kermode & Mayo’s Take

CHAPTER

The Secret Club

The film is full of the awkwardness of being a preteen and handles it with great charm. It has a very refreshing frankness about subjects that in the past, some literature and particularly cinemas have been very squeamish about. The thing I really liked about this is that alongside that stuff, there's also really funny, lighter stuff. Kelly Freeman Craig has really captured the spirit of the book and Dini Forza is a perfect Margaret. If you are one of the people who thinks any of Judy Bloom's books should have been banned in America, get another podcast on her website or go to www.justgiving.com/judybloom.
