Watch Thirteen For Free

Surprisingly incoherent and boring

Instant Favorite.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

Thirteen is a 2003 drama that stars Holly Hunter and follows her coping as a mother to maintain the new and disrespectful personality of her daughter after entering into the wrong friend zone, filled with sex, petty crime and drugs. Thirteen sounded like a enjoyable watch at the time and when i finally watched my DVD, I was slowly more and more hooked to the reality on the screen, although, me being a teenager, knows that the style in this movie as CRINGY AS HELL, this film is so true and has happened before and is still happening all over the world, kids have a dream to be someone they don't even know themselves so they can be accepted in life only to be let down more then they already were, I have actually seen it before and experienced it a couple of times myself, the acting, dialogue and pace is so well done and actors like Holly Hunter, Jeremy Sisto and Nikki Reed totally steal the sha. It's just so painful and shocking to think that a sweet girl like the main girl in the film can actually change that much into a disrespectful, punk, foul mouth attituded teenager. Thirteen is a very educational film for parents who think they're children are acting like they never did before. 10/10! Ps. I'm back!!

I was totally fooled by the rating, I genuinely don't get how this film have such a high rating. I have watched many teenager movies but none of them failed to portrait the teenager life as badly as this movie.The script was ridiculous, as a result the screenplay turned to be a complete disaster. There was no character build ups, no strong background story. Things were simply happening without much context.Hand-held camera or hand-held shooting is an art. What the cameramen did in this film is simply shaky camera work there was nothing artsy about it. Frankly the camera work bothered me a lot. Lastly the acting seemed very amateur to me. Authentic acting is one thing but it was pure amateur work altogether. I could not find any single aspect of this film that I might like. Not worth your time.NOT RECOMMENDED.

I don't really get into this movie as it's a totally outmoded now with the today cellphones, social networks, etc… The period was not mine either because i was already too old. Thus except Holly and the atemporal parenthood / teen thematic, i don't have other connections and maybe that explains why i was bored ! The image quality was far from good with this blue, greenish look and this family is a big nonsense : if all parents were unable to educate, supervise their teen because they work or because they have a love story, that would be the most shameful excuse ! Sure as a teen, i resented parental check-up, i tried some awkward experiences but this is a prerequisite to autonomy as an adult ! As it's an almost feminist movie (mothers & daughters) and because i feel more nerd, i felt expelled. The only good moment was the shopping because as I went there too and now I can tell that LA isn't as glamorous as we can think : Hollywood boulevard really stinks with weirdos ! At last, it's again a movie in which Holly loses all her charm and i deeply regret her early ones !

Was hooked from the first scene and thank god it wasn't made by a Frenchperson. Because it runs on all of the things I hate about European movies: roving cameras, POV, extreme close-ups, irrational cuts, dislikeable characters being dislikeable, no discernible plot and so on.Or Canadian: not a whiff of PC.Instead, everything works in a tale told in chaos skating on the edge of a cliff, ending in a shaky affirmation.I could cite chapter and verse but the first few scenes do that better than any review, though it is pleasing to see so many of the reviewers here doing just that. And to see so many who appreciate it on its own terms.Finally, Evan Wood is the movie. Somehow, she makes you care about her character and Nikki Reed is her perfect foil, like Iago gleefully dragging Othello to hell. Holly Hunter's performance is delightfully understated. Most of the males, being adolescents, are irritating as hell but they're believable and well-acted, as are all of the characters.Final final, surprised at how few of the reviews were negative given both the subject matter and the presentation. Just as I automatically view many European films as exercises in clumsy masturbation, I can see how many of the movie's elements could be turnoffs on first view. That so few reacted that way I can only credit to Ms. Wood's performance.
