Product Description
Description
"Brace yourself" (Rolling Stone) for a raw, revealing insight into urban adolescence that's so intense and realistic, "it's possible to turn away (Interview Magazine). Anxiously trying to fit into the peer-pressure cooker environment of junior high, thirteen-year-old Tracy (Evan Rachel Wood) goes to shocking lengths in order to befriend Evie (co-writer Nikki Reed), the most popular girl in school. Now the two are inseparable - and incorrigible - leaving Tracy's desperate mom (Academy Award winner Holly Hunter) powerless to rescue her from a whirlwind of drugs, sex and crime.

Good Film, but NOT worth the hype it received.,
By
This review is from: Thirteen (Widescreen) (DVD)
Glancing through all these reviews we have two sides to this film. We have those who think this film was a revelation, that it realisticaly depicted the harsh side of teen drug addiction and reckless behavior, well this audience obviously hasn't seen "KIDS," "GUMMO," or "L.I.E." These films shock the mind and the senses with their graphic depictions of sex, drugs and violence and their disturbingly real camera work. Thirteen was neither of these. We also have those who thought this film was an absolute waste of two hours. That it was not. While it was not a marvel to behold, it was not horrible crap either. It holds it's own, unfortunately the hype made it something it was not. While Evan Rachel Wood's performance was powerful and beautifully layered the film seemed like a cross between 90210 and MTV. Don't get me wrong, I did enjoy the film for what it was worth, but it definitely wasn't worth the hype it received. The film does have many strong points. Evan Rachel Wood, and ofcourse the amazing Holly Hunter. It was co-written by Nikki Reed, who also stars in the film, a young girl who really lived through a similar situation. Although the storyline seems real the dialogue sometimes comes off as less than creative. I can't put my finger on it, but I do think I would have enjoyed the film for what it was worth if it didn't receive such phenomenal hype, and I think half the reviewers agree...you might too.

Teen popularity test goes wrong - scary,
By dr_sasp (England, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Thirteen (VHS Tape)
Family disruption, hormones and peer pressure: Tracy wants to be in with the popular crowd. Initial forays into shoplifting and drink to impress Evie - THE coolest girl in the school - quickly descend into stealing, sex, drugs and school failure. Everything quickly gets out of control, scaring Tracy and all those around her.
