Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
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

Rating: - No. Bad. Danger, Will Robinson, danger
Catherine Hardwicke is red hot right now due to her direction of Twilight, which is a huge block buster with box office receipts that guarantee a sequel--but guess who won't be directing said sequel? It doesn't seem fair that she won't get to milk the cash cow she spawned, but perhaps it is best, as she would no doubt chaff under the restrictions imposed upon her. She is an indie director through and through, though with her uncanny knack for feeling the pulse of the youth market she will no doubt ... Read More
Rating:  - Great movie!!
This is one of my favorite movies EVER... and that is quite a compliment. It really gives a great look into what life is like for 13 year olds growing up in the world today. Not much else needs to be said... the other reviews say it all. I highly recommend this movie.
Rating: - Oh to be young again?
I feel a need for a disclaimer here. This is a positive review, I thought Thirteen was a very good film. Okay disclaimer covered.
Imagine two hours of sitting in a pit of eels after drinking eighteen cups of coffee. That's about as uncomfortable as the two hours I spent watching Thirteen. It is a testament to the film that the material rings so true as to elicit such feelings. The phrase teenage angst has never been so woefully insufficient as in this instance. The story of Tracy and her ... Read More
Rating: - This is no joke...
I've seen "Kids", Bully and all the other teens gone bad movies...Thirteen is the one that really got me! It broke my heart, and scared the hell out of me! I have a daughter (17) and this is real! It can happen if you allow it too or if your luck is bad enough for some good ole' fashion Karma to catch up 2 you. Katherine Hardwick(Lords Of Dogtown)and Nukki Reed wrote this script in a week...a semi-autobiographical telling of Reed's real life. There's drugs, sex, cutting, and alcohol running freely in ...

Rating: - Excellent cinematography. Wood's performance is spot on.
Special features could have been more extensive, but I enjoyed the audio commentary with director and actors. Evan Rachel Wood does a fantastic portrayal of Tracy. The cinematography is beautiful and fitting to the story.
