Critics Consensus: An emotionally wrenching, not to mention terrifying, film about the perils of being a teenager.

Reviews

Cambridge Day

Tom Meek

Given the room for platitude and cliche, the film's wholly genuine, gritty and from the heart.

Thirteen tries too hard to shock... but it is nonetheless a sensational look at the flip side of the American dream.

Film Comment Magazine

Amy Taubin

The script is as overexcited as the girls themselves, and its affirmative ending is unearned.

London Evening Standard

Neil Norman

It is here that the performances pay emotional dividends. The sight of Hunter kissing her daughter's self-inflicted scars as if trying to kiss away the psychological pain that raised them will haunt me for some time.

Explicit peer pressure story for older teens.

Explicit peer pressure story for older teens.

What Parents Need to Know

Parents need to know that this movie's R rating comes from frank and explicit -- but thoughtful -- treatment of the subject matter -- how peer pressure can lure kids away from their moorings and their families. Characters constantly use very strong language. Teenagers engage in every possible self-destructive behavior -- they smoke, take drugs, steal, lie, and pierce their tongues and belly buttons. They have sex that is so casual it is almost anonymous. There is also adult substance abuse and every one acts out. There are very tense family confrontations. This is a good example of how the MPAA rating system fails, because there are stupid comedies that deal with the same issues as this movie that are rated PG-13. This movie --if your teen can handle very mature subject matter -- deals more intelligently and forthrightly with the consequences of the behavior it depicts than some PG-13 offerings.
