Are You There God? It’s Me Margaret, Fast X, Beau Is Afraid, Louis Leterrier

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.
