Thirteen...........pay attention.......
Being a parent is scary. The fevers and rashes of babyhood, the bumps and falls of toddlerhood, the realization that their math is too hard for you in elementary school. Every moment of fear, though, is more than countered by a moment of joy, gratitude and love so big it hurts. Until you reach the... Read full review »
Thirteen: Another Disturbing Film About Self-Destructive Teens
When my friends and I left the cinema after seeing Thirteen, several of us felt nauseated and dizzy. The film is graphic, disturbing, and deeply moving. It's terrifying because it all feels so real. Director Catherine Hardwicke uses grainy-looking 16 mm film and many moving camera angles to make... Read full review »
Do 13 Year Old Kids Really Do These Things?
I rented thirteen from Blockbuster about a year ago and I immediately went out and bought the DVD. I've since moved and I guess the movie got lost somewhere from point A to point B. Recently, I saw thirteen on the Independent Film Channel. It reminded me of why the movie had such an impact on me,... Read full review »

Thirteen DVD
THIRTEEN is Catherine Hardwicke's explosive portrait of teenage girls at their very worst. Mean manipulative conniving and utterly out of control these skinny sexy drug-addicted 13-year-old time bombs are nothing short of terrifying. Hardwicke's movie is brilliant in its ability to portray this phenomenon which comes off as very real. The skillful photography from cinematographer Elliot Davis communicates the most complicated themes of the film: insecurity confusion wanting to be liked and accepted and feeling like it's time to grow up fast. In an early scene protagonist Tracy Evan Rachel Wood a shy girl and good student approaches Evie Nikki Reed the school's ultra-popular bad girl and the two size up each other's clothing jewelry hair shoes socks and decide to go on a shopping spree. From there Tracy spirals downward copying Evie's every move in an aggressive game of daring each other to take increasingly dangerous risks--stealing getting piercings experimenting with sex drinking and taking drugs and much more. All the while Tracy's mom Holly Hunter who is a bohemian ex-alcoholic trying to be open-minded and supportive about her daughter's rebellion slowly loses her authority and her ability to cope with these volatile teens. A booming excellent soundtrack punctuates the hyper desperate manic mood of the girls' behavior and catalyzes the adrenaline rush that is THIRTEEN.

| (09/05/2003, p.54-5, Owen Gleiberman): "...The handheld images are grainy and feverish but also startlingly sustained, and they have a way of snaking their way right up to the actors' faces....It has the grip of a thriller..." | ||
