Beloved author, Judy Blume, is headed to the big screen at Lincoln Theater. Her classic, groundbreaking, and multi award-winning 1970 novel “Are you there God? It’s Me, Margaret” has been adapted into a film starring big screen favorites Kathy Bates and Rachel McAdams, and featurinig Abby Ryder Forston as 11-year-old Margaret, navigating new friends, feelings, and the beginning of adolescence.

Master Gardener (R; 1 hour, 47 minutes) Directed by Academy Award nominee Paul Schrader based on his original screenplay, the film follows Narvel Roth (Joel Edgerton), the meticulous horticulturist of Gracewood Gardens. He is as much devoted to tending the grounds of this beautiful and historic estate, to pandering to his employer, the wealthy dowager Mrs. Haverhill (Sigourney Weaver). When she demands that Roth take on her wayward and troubled great-niece as a new apprentice, chaos enters Narvel’s spartan existence, unlocking dark secrets from a buried violent past that threaten them all. Final showtime Thursday, June 29 at 2 p.m. Presented in partnership with Horch Roofing.
