Juno was an impressive movie all in all. The actors have worked really hard to portray some rare human emotions that you don't often see in films. Surrounded by the tensions of a pregnant teen the girl the script manages to keep things light yet illustrates some serious thoughtful moments. However, from an experience standpoint, it does not manage to be an extraordinary film. Certain aspects of the story feel pensive and downbeat. Characters feel out of sync with one another and that really halts to bring the best out of this otherwise excellent movie.
Highs: Writing is a beautiful work of craft. Acting by lead actor Ellen Macguff is a spectacle and she drives this with a lot of clarity, creed, and principle. The heartwarming moments are captured in a non-cringy, subtle way and that is one of the toughest acts to achieve in filmmaking.
Lows: Certain characters and angels are gloomy and lack approval. The ending even with all its sweetness feels predictable and could have been much better.
Rating: 3 ***
