"Thirteen" shows the consequences when your 13 year old daughter starts hanging out when the wrong people. This movie is based on the true story of Nikki Reed who also is the co-star in this feature. OK, I'll be honest, the story is provoking and chocking for most people, but not for me. I'm 20 and I know and have known many girls of that age. These things certainly happen, although it's not always that worse as in Tracy's case. But this is certainly a difficult age. People, boys as well as girls, are very insecure about their self and their looks and what other people think of them. Because in the end, everybody wants to be popular and have a lot of friends. Everyone would like to take risk and live on the edge. That's what "Thirteen" is about.
The acting in "Thirteen" was certainly amazing. Evan Rachel Wood was outstanding! One hell of a performance she gave, as well as Holly Hunter. Excellent first feature by Catherine Hardwicke. I'm really looking forward to see her second feature "Lords of Dogtown". This movie is certainly worth watching if you would like to know something more about young girls, growing up in an insecure and instable environment. I don't say every teenage girl is like this or goes through this, but it certainly does exist. This isn't fiction.
8/10
