Juno is not only the best film of the 2007 Toronto International Film Festival, but it’s also the best movie of the year (so far).
For days I’ve sat in dark screening rooms filled with other movie critics. And let me tell you, for a group of people who should love movies, critics are some of the least responsive movie-watching audiences. Films at Toronto play in 500+ seat theaters, packed with emotionless critics from around the world, and the usual LA crowd (which I’ll refrain from making jokes about because, the cliches are usually unrealistically true, and it’s too easy).

We’ve been following Jason Reitman’s career for some time now. Ever since we peeped his incredible short film In God We Trust on Atom Films several years ago. Jason is of course the son of Ghostbusters and Animal House director Ivan Reitman. But he’s not standing it Ivan’s shadows. He’s been making a name for himself.
