A gut-wrenching portrait of adolescence, Thirteen is made all the more powerful because it was co-written by a genuine teenage girl, Nikki Reed, who also co-stars 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, energized direction, and astonishingly alive performances from Hunter, Reed, and especially Wood. Jolting, sad, and mesmerizing. --Bret Fetzer

 One of my favorite movies of all time June 29, 2009
Mr. Noodles (San Diego, CA, USA)
*contains spoilers*
The story really got to me. 13 year old Tracy wanted to fit in with the popular girls at school, most notably Evie. Tracy gets Evie's number to hang out, only for it to be a non working number. She goes to the shop where Evie was shoplifting, and she intentionally gave Tracy a wrong number. She pick pocketed a lady at a bus stop, and Tracy instantly becomes Evie's friend. Although she is with the popular crowd, she shuns her old friends and follows Evie in the path of sex and drugs. She also self mutilated her arm a few times in the movie (I have went through a minor phase like that when I was 14) whenever she got really stressed.
Evie had a depressing background, as she said she was abused by her guardian's boyfriend and such. She wanted to be adopted by Tracy's family. She envied Tracy because she had the things she wanted (a mother, family love, etc). She was not adopted and betrays Tracy near the end of the film.
Near the end, Tracy was on the verge of failing the 7th grade, I will not spoil any further now.
Parts of the movie did make me cry, a little. Such as seeing Evie crying because she didnt get adopted, and the ending which I will not reveal in this review. Stuff like this is happening out there in real life and I really want to do something about it. I have watched this film about 12 times so far. Overall, this is a really great and a depressing move, parents and teachers should show this film to teenagers, especially if they turned 13.
If you liked this movie, you will like Ken Park's "Kids", which has a more grittier feel as opposed to Thirteen's Hollywood feel. Plus Kids is much more graphic, and if that was not enough for you, you should also watch "Ken Park"

this is a great movie to show teenage girls... because it deals with alot of the things that teenage girls deal with and need to know that girls can get out of control and there are bad friends out there..
Love this movie February 27, 2009

The movie, Thirteen, was very intense not only because of the subject of drugs, sex and stealing, but you could really get into the story. It keeps you hanging for the next part at each turn. Definatley worth watching in my opinion!
