Comment: If you want to fill her mouth with fine phrases about abortion, and staining with politics and the election campaign (true, Giuliano Ferrara?) Also this little gem, a revelation at the Oscars 2008 , please let her also, but you then go for credible claims. Why Juno deserves everything, except the vulgar exploitation. Jason Reitman had us convinced from "Thank You for Smoking" and also in the history of the young, dissolute and nice rebellious 16 year old Juno (pregnant for a boring afternoon, enlivened with best friend) keeps the guidelines of a cheeky director, addressing serious themes with lightness, without ever falling into banality or, worse, ridicule. The youth slang dominates the film, so that the dialogue (almost in a parallel dimension to real life) closely resemble the style of verbal "Clockwork Orange" (but, mind you, remains the only common point of gradient). Juno is the new Little Miss Sunshine, a film that deals with the daily newspaper with cynicism, struggling to condemn (the only villain is the husband of the foster family, and here we take some reservations), but not short on sympathy. Naive and rebellion, stretched between the desire to grow and that of a freedom bound by a son in her lap. Abortion is an issue only touched upon, again without judgments. A choice that we appreciate: sometimes best to leave the moralizing aside, better to grant a public entertainment but also reflected a bit 'of free will. Given that the director (with tops-only flashback sequence and near misses, as delicate as the whole movie) often steals the show from the content ...
Do not miss: The soundtrack and opening theme. The CD of the film in particular depopulated already in the U.S..
RATING: 8.5
