Review of Thirteen

Thirteen (2003)
6/10
A very good film-tense,gritty,realistic and educational
17 January 2008
This movie was disturbing and graphic in depicting the lives of 2 girls hitting adolescence,with very little grounding to make it through these difficult years.It was grossly realistic in the portrayal of 2 young girls who become enmeshed with each other,in an effort to connect, without a minimally positive history of connection and attachment.The issues are real,the behaviors are common and the plot flows in a fragmented way,reflecting the fragmented lives of the girls and their lack of interest in anything beyond the immediate moment.

It was a gritty and tense film - well worth watching,and the performances were very well done.
