Juno respects the idiosyncrasies of its characters rather than exaggerating them or holding them up for ridicule.Read the full review
Deceptively superficial at the outset, the movie deepens into something poignant and unexpected.Read the full review

A confluence of perfection in every aspect of the film.Read the full review
