Juno

Faced with an unplanned pregnancy, sixteen year old high-schooler, Juno MacGuff, makes an unusual decision regarding her unborn child.

Widely celebrated on release as a sharp, warmly performed coming-of-age comedy, Juno earned particular praise for Elliot Page's lead performance and Diablo Cody's stylized script — though that very stylization is where critics parted ways, with detractors finding the slang-heavy dialogue calculated and its treatment of teen pregnancy glibly breezy. The film's cultural afterlife has been at least as contested as its reviews, with ongoing debate about whether it glamorizes pregnancy and whether its politics align with its author's intentions.
