Reviews

Amazon.co.uk Review
A gut-wrenching portrait of adolescence, Thirteen is made all the more powerful because it was cowritten by a teenage girl, Nikki Reed, who also costars in the movie. Tracy (Evan Rachel Wood), a serious good student, finds herself needing to express her anger and resentment at her fractured family life. To rebel, she pursues a friendship with the reckless, alluring Evie (Reed), who seems to have all the cocksure freedom that Tracy desires. What follows is both harrowing and compelling: Tracy becomes enmeshed in a relationship with Evie that empowers Tracy and drags her deeper into the misery she wants to escape--and terrifies her mother (Holly Hunter), who struggles desperately to hold on to her daughter's love. Thirteen makes every step on this path utterly convincing, due to the vivid script, energised direction and astonishingly alive performances from Hunter, Reed and especially Wood. It's jolting, sad and mesmerising. --Bret Fetzer

DVD Description
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 mother (Academy Award winner Holly Hunter) powerless to rescue her from a whirlwind of drugs, sex and crime.

5.0 out of 5 stars Vivid and shocking, 6 Aug 2004
I saw this film at the London Film Festival where it premiered in England. It was one if not the most emotional film I have seen. The hectic hand-held camera work takes you right into the hectic frenzy of teenage life.
The script and actors draws you into Tracy's life and her relationship with her family and Evie. Rachel Evan Wood, and Holly Hunter were simply outstanding. But it feels unfair just to mention those two. Nikki Reed, Brady Corbet, and Jeremy Sisto were exceptional.
Unlike some independant films. Thirteen does not through contriversal, shocking scenes in just for the sake of it, but to show a true portrayal of how quickly kids are growing up these days. I myself am only 19 years old and still see my friends younger brothers and sisters going through some of the things shown in this film.
Written by a 13 Year Old Nikki Reed with first time director Catherine Hardwicke this film is a remarkable acheivment.

5.0 out of 5 stars Masterpiece, 6 May 2004
The story of the downward spiral of a 13 year old girl called Tracy, led astray by the 'popular' kid in school, is not shocking but a question poser because of the style that its shot in. The action is fast moving as the girls ascention into adolescance spirals out of control. The use of drugs, alcohol and sexual exploration are well placed and acted out with taste and distintive style, as not to attract the wrong kind of attention to the picture. Nicki Reed's (who plays the bad girl, Evie) story of corruption and exploitation is striking to the eye and the heart. The fact that she co-wrote the script, based on her own experiences, is mind bogling because of her tender age of 15! The eventual destrucive nature of their relationship is brilliant viewing because the acting is 1st class, led by Oscar winner Holly Hunter. A small but major part is assigned to Jeremy Sisto (Billy from Six Feet Under) as a recovering drug addict, for whom Tracy uses as a catalyst for her teenage rebellion!

An accurate portrayel of inner city life in California, "Thirteen" allows the outside world to get a small glimpse at what impressionable teenagers have to deal with in a overly demanding society. The story also deals with betrayel by Tracy and Evie and the path friendship takes when desperation is the motivation.

4.0 out of 5 stars engaging and accurate account of adolescence, 18 Jul 2006
By *invisible*monsters* (norwich, england) - See all my reviews
i watched this film not knowing what to expect and i was pleasently suprised. although the story does seem more fitting to a slightly older character, the issues raised are that of what a teenager has to face in our modern society. it is accurate on the pressures of popularity, sex, drugs and self-harm without adding a glossy hollywood feel to it. the main character is easy to identify with making the audience become more involved in the story, although it can be slightly hard to follow at times. this film can be helpful to teenagers going through the same problems, but it can be a trigger for self-harmers. all in all it is an enjoyable realistic story only let down by the unsatisfying ending. but well worth a watch nevertheless.
