Juno Movie review



Words can't describe how much I adored this remarkable offbeat movie. It is unassuming, hip and with a dialogue that is as sharp as a razor. Juno played by the remarkable Ellen Page tells the story of an amazing smart young girls journey through her pregnancy. Whilst this movie certainly is sweet it lacks the over sentimentality scrips that flow out of Hollywood!

This movie is charming, feel good, emotional, original fresh and interesting.
Go see this movie now if you know what's good for you.

Below is a review by movie critic Roger Ebert

By Roger Ebert

"Jason Reitman's "Juno" is just about the best movie of the year. It is very smart, very funny and very touching; it begins with the pacing of a screwball comedy and ends as a portrait of characters we have come to love. Strange, how during Juno's hip dialogue and cocky bravado, we begin to understand the young woman inside, and we want to hug her.

Has there been a better performance this year than Ellen Page's creation of Juno? I don't think so. If most actors agree that comedy is harder than drama, then harder still is comedy depending on a quick mind, utter self-confidence, and an ability to stop just short of going too far. Page's presence and timing are extraordinary. I have seen her in only two films, she is only 20, and I think she will be one of the great actors of her time."
