A Masterpiece!
The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.
As we were watching, we were wondering if it was bad because of the script, the acting or the direction. Except for Jodie Comer, no actor's emotions were believable. No dialogs made any sense. Most scenes were more than absurd. The police work was so terrible that we couldn't believe it. All the characters' personality was the same. Cheaters, liars, "back shooters", jealous and "strong" or simply softies and idiots. The main character was the most unrealistic I had seen for a looong time. Horribly predictable and bad plot.
No way she'd be treated like this! Completely ridiculous storyline....
If you agree with victim blaming, this series is for you. Let me say that Jodie Comer is hugely talented in the role of Ivy. That makes watching Thirteen even more difficult watch. The police in this drama are horrifying, their attitudes are like law enforcement from the 1950s; though I'm not sure that even detectives from that decade would act this horribly. A 13-year-old is kidnapped and held captive in a basement for thirteen years yet the police try harder to implicate the child than the abductor through most of the series. It is completely unbelievable that the police would treat a sexual assault survivor in this manner. I really only kept watching because of the performance by Comer and several other actors, specifically her family members. I'm sorry that they drew me in because this series angered me more than anything. Don't waste your time
Ivy Moxam (Jodie Comer) escapes from her captor. She's 26 and has been a prisoner since being kidnapped at 13. Her family is uncertain but a DNA test confirms that she's the real Ivy. Her parents are scared to reveal their separation. Her little sister Emma is now grown with her own boyfriend. She is reunited with childhood boyfriend Tim and he's scared to reveal that he's married. Eloise feels guilty about not meeting on the faithful day. The kidnapper is identified as Mark White as he goes on the run. He kidnaps a new girl, 10 year old Phoebe. The police is desperate to find him and Phoebe but Ivy's story does not all add up.This is a 5 part BBC mini-series. Its 5 hour running time is probably a little over-extended. It doesn't really have the twists to justify the length. There are some compelling relationships but they don't go too far with them. The police investigation is lackluster. Even Ivy giving herself up to Mark White is somewhat unrealistic in its execution. Jodie Comer is a perfectly good troubled mercurial girl. Other than some of the relationships, there is a lack of sharpness to the writing. Tim is probably the most compelling but even that fades at some point.
