Quirky, Unique, thoughtful film

Rating: 10/10 (31 May 2016)

Although labelled as a comedy this film is so much more than that, it is a thought provoking drama
It tells the story of a 16 year old who is pregnant and puts her baby up for adoption She faces lots of challenges. 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.
