Margo's Got Money Troubles

Michelle Pfeiffer and Elle Fanning in Margo’s Got Money Troubles.

Life is hard for young Margo. Raised by a former Hooters waitress and an ex-pro wrestler, she’s a recent college dropout dreaming of becoming a writer. She’s also got a mountain of bills to pay, and few ways to pay them—a problem that only gets bigger when she discovers she’s pregnant. In other words, Margo has to get scrappy. Based on the 2024 book by Rufi Thorpe, Margo’s Got Money Troubles is a contemporary tale of youthful struggle, one involving OnlyFans, neon bikinis, and Bloomingdale’s. Elle Fanning, Michel Pfeiffer, Nick Offerman, and Nicole Kidman star. —Jeanne Malle
