“We must! We must! We must increase our bust!”
Oh how I love coming of age movies. This felt like a breath of fresh air. Rachel McAdams playing a mom feels so comforting. This is just the sweetest movie ever Margaret nailed exactly what growing up as a girl feels like! Ultimate girlhood movie wow I need more movies like this 🫶

Coming of age filmlerini, kadin olmayi seviyorum. Film boyunca Margaretin kendisini kesfetmesini; bunlar yaşanırken annesinin ona olan destegini izlemeyi, 10 12 yaslarinda kendi fikirlerini kullanmadan cevresindekilerin fikirleri ile olusan bir tanri dusuncesine inanmadigi icin Margareti seviyorum. Tum film boyunca daha kendini bile kesfedememis bir kiza ebeveynlerinin tanriyi bulmasini dayatmamasini seviyorum. Keske herkes boyle olabilse cocuklar cocuk olsa; oyunlar, dersler, resimler, arkadaşlıklar ve daha birçoku ile doldursalar akillarini. Film hem komik hem eğlenceli hemde cok gercekciydi, bence herkes kendinden bir parca bulabilir. Belki Margaretizdir belki Margaretin tam tersi ama hepimiz cok mükemmeliz hepimiz iyiki variz. How i love being a woman.
