	Author	Review
United States	Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"'Juno' is just about the best movie of the year. It is very smart, very funny and very touching (...) Has there been a better performance this year than Ellen Page's creation of Juno? I don't think so (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	A. O. Scott The New York Times	"[It] respects the idiosyncrasies of its characters rather than exaggerating them or holding them up for ridicule (...) A good deal of the credit for this goes to Ms. Page"	POS
United States	Claudia Puig USA Today	"It's a rare pleasure to sit through a movie with lines that are so consistently witty as well as recognizably natural (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Richard Schickel Time	"'Juno' is not a great movie; it does not have aspirations in that direction. But it is, in its little way, a truthful, engaging and welcome entertainment."	POS
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"There’s a special kick that comes in finding a new star. So step up, Ellen Page, and take your bows (…) 'Juno' is more than a few smiles — it makes you laugh deeply. It’s one from the bruised heart (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Todd McCarthy Variety	"Dialogue and pic overall are saved from cloying glibness by the fact that Juno is not only a smarty-pants, but also genuinely smart and self-possessed"	POS
United States	Kirk Honeycutt The Hollywood Reporter	"[It] defies expectations at every turn, giving the slip to anything saccharine or trite or didactic, looking to its characters for insight and complexity (...) [It takes] a presumably stale storyline and making it into a buoyant comedy"	POS
United Kingdom	Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"A fiction with irresistible charm and wit and Page carries everything before her (…) Rating: ★★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United Kingdom	Andrew Male Empire	"A sharp-edged, sweet-centred, warm-hearted coming-of-age movie that's always just that little bit smarter than you think it is (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	J.R. Jones Chicago Reader	"The movie's real distinction lies in its complicated emotions"	POS
