Judy Blume Forever review: Groundbreaking author gets the documentary treatment
Most interesting, though, is perhaps Lorrie Kim, one of many women who wrote to Blume throughout her adolescence, seeking comfort from an author who truly understood what she was going through when she couldn’t speak to her own parents. Collectively, these interviews tell the story of a woman whose keen insights into the anxieties of pubescent children played an important role in young lives as a sex educator and an empathetic ear.
The documentary’s one stylistic flourish comes in the form of animated sequences that dramatize the passages read by Blume from her own books. These moments run counter to the archival footage and statically shot interviews that don’t stand out visually, and they are adequate in doing so.
