DESCRIPTION
"Brace yourself" Rolling Stone for a raw, revealing insight into urban adolescence that's so intense and realistic, "it's possible to turn away Interview Magazine. 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 mom Academy Award winner Holly Hunter powerless to rescue her from a whirlwind of drugs, sex and crime.
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
