For the first time in The Frida Cinema’s history, we are finally playing Juno!
Juno MacGuff (Elliot Page), a smart, sarcastic 16-year-old in the Minneapolis suburbs, finds herself unexpectedly pregnant after a casual hookup with her shy best friend, Paulie Bleeker (Michael Cera). Opting against abortion but not ready for motherhood, Juno sets out to find the perfect adoptive parents—a seemingly put-together yuppie couple played by Jennifer Garner and Jason Bateman.
Written by Diablo Cody in her Oscar-winning debut, Juno pairs quippy, stylized dialogue with sincere emotional beats, carving out a space in indie film where teenage girls are allowed to be complicated, self-aware, and funny without being reduced to tropes.
