As a teen, I read books like "Are You There God, It's Me, Margaret" and "Then Again, Maybe I Won't" and marveled at how matter-of-fact certain subjects not previously discussed in other fictional books I read were explored. I later read the more mature book "Forever..." and thought how author Judy Blume had grown as a writer. I also read another book about her that told how many of those of her novels were banned because of those certain subjects. So I was very interested in this documentary when I discovered it on a recent flight. As her fame grew, Ms. Blume gets interviewed by many of the famous talk show hosts of the time and also appeared in "Crossfire" where she debated with conservative figure Pat Buchanan who she didn't even know about previously. But the most touching parts is when she reads letters from many teen girls including a couple of those young women who wrote to her for years to the point that they both agreed to appear in this film talking of how much of an influence she had on them. Had she not decided to write for a living, Ms. Blume would be just another of those housewives just raising her kids and tending to her hubby when he gets home from work but that wasn't what she was comfortable with, that's for sure! She'd eventually leave her first spouse and after failing with her second, she'd eventually find true happiness with a third one who had a daughter who knew of his new wife's work. Ms. Blume herself had two offspring who eventually grew proud of her work. At 83, she seems happy now living in Key West, FL, running a book store where she proudly has on display inside the sign "We sell banned books" which I'm guessing includes her own! As a astute observer of adolescent life, Judy Blume Forever is aptly named.

I have to say what a breath of fresh air. You covered so many things from my childhood and my life that you had me one minute crying like a baby then laughing out loud I woke my wife who had fallen asleep next to me a few times. I find myself a parent again in later years and was wondering how to breach all the seen taboo subjects that as a child I had no help in dealing with. I will be investing some time into your books to hopefully not leave my little person blindly fumbling in life at difficult times. I have to say how brave all your guests were on the film to share their experiences and to do it themselves without a mask or fake name. I apologize for the review if it does not read correctly as I am dyslexic and find it hard sometimes to write. Also, my spelling is not the best but Google spelling helps a little. Thank you Judy for being uncensored and you. If you are reading this and think shall I give this a look then the answer is YES 100% ATB Kind regards Derek. P. S Just a note for Judy "You can please some of the people some of the time but not all of the people all of the time" and this is OK.

Thoroughly watchable documentary of a beloved author. Never met Judy before but I connected to her through her books. Tiger Eyes being my favorite. The documentary was interesting especially when focused on the backlash her books faced in the Regan era. Also interesting to see was the amount of fan mail she received and that she kept the letters! As usual the "gatekeepers" at Prime same as at Netflix, Hulu, etc made sure to insert their plight into the documentary about a 83 year old woman who writes books. A huge turn off for me, but thankfully I was able to fast forward through certain sections. A must watch if you are a Judy Blume fan.
