<p>Have any of you seen this movie, starring Evan Rachel Wood and oscar winner Holy Huntwe. If not, you should check it out. Its about a thirteen year old girl who gets caught up in a world of drugs, sex, self mutilation, and crime. It is slightly aut-biographical and was co-written by a 13 year old in SoCal who went through this experience. It won an award at Sundance Film Festival, also...</p>
<p>I've wanted to see it, but haven't had the chance.</p>
<p>seen it. highly disturbing.</p>
<p>it's okay for me, not that great of a movie actually, but not disturbing at all , well 4 me</p>
<p>It made me want to steal. Not to get friends. Just to rejoice in my love for materialism.</p>
<p>Yeah I didn't really like it.</p>
<p>I didn't like it.. too umm.. please-help-me-i'm-sad-because-i'm-a-teen
Yeah sorry i just don't like movies where teenagers are all sad because of the drugs and sex that pressures them and stuff</p>
<p>it was really intense and overdramatic to the point of being slightly unbeliveable. But, nonethless, it was somewhat entertaining.</p>
<p>i saw it, it was pretty good, but i dont know how believable it was being that the girls were only thirteen. also it seemed as if some parts were dragged on while others went by way too fast without time for the audiance to collect their thoughts. when she's (i dotn remember her name haha), becomes friends with the "cool" girl it seems as if her life changes too quickly, she loses her study habits, smartness and just begins to worsh evie is that her name? i liked it all together though</p>
<p>It was highly overwrought, overdramatized, overeverything. I didn't like it, to be honest, though Evan Rachel Wood is a fine actress. Basically, the movie aimed to shock. There's this one scene where her character and a friend do drugs until numb and start hitting each other and laughing. I was laughing too. :( Like whoever above said, it was unbelievable.</p>
<p>I like the last scene because it was highly symbolic. If you've seen the movie, you should know what I mean.</p>
<p>Mainly, I wanted to smack the two little tw*ts.</p>
<p>You guys keep mention that its unrealistic, but its based on a true story (Nikki Reed when she was thirteen) so this stuff can happen.....although i concur that rarely it happens at 13.</p>
<p>greendayfan, i read an interview with nikki reed and, although she did say that she was drinking, shoplifting, etc., she said she didn't go as far as the girls in the movie (drugs, etc.). i thought the movie was pretty good, but i think tracy's transformation into a "bad girl" was waay too sudden. also, i dunno if the age thirteen is that realistic- it seems much more like what 15-18yr olds would be doing. pretty overdramatic if u ask me. the acting was really good though.</p>
<p>I think it was a good movie and definitely good acting, but it didn't ring very true to me since they were supposedly only THIRTEEN! I don't live in a secluded Christian community, heck not even close, and I have to say - I have never seen thirteen year olds act. Few, close, yes, - but not like in the movie.</p>
<p>Many people seem to rave about Thirteen but I was a bit underwhelmed when I saw it. I think the producers took the movie over the top just a tinge and it just felt a little fake to me. I don't want to sound over-critical, but I felt like it was just the steriotypical film of teenage life and the intense pressures that are felt to fall into the wrong things. I guess it's hard to articulate exactly, but I just didn't like it that much.</p>
<p>Just because a film is based on a true story doesn't mean that everything in there actually happened, or isn't overdramaticized. I steered clear of this movie, because I felt that 13 would be pushing it, and I didn't have much confidence in the girl who "co-wrote" the script (aka producers put her on the bill to add to the believe-ability of the movie, and maybe help throw in a few events that actually happened)</p>
<p>overdramatized yes, but where I'm from I see kids act like that ALL the time. </p>
<p>BTW my town isn't that bad--1st City in KS!</p>
