Has anyone else seen this? It's really good. It's one of those movies where you can watch it and say "Hey I know these people." The girl that played Evie wrote it. She did a good job.

I'm dying to see it. I adore Holly Hunter. But it's probably considered to be an arthouse film over here in vulgar old England. It's probably showing at two cinemas in London and nowhere else. Hate this country!

i meant to see it. ironic that it's written by/about teenage people, then they give it an 18 rating, like that one sweet sixteen. it was good.

I really wish I were 16 again. Or fifteen. I'd actually study this time and go to uni earlier. Get it out of the friggin way. Learn to drive sooner than I did. Travel to America sooner. Marry a rich yank...I could be swimming in a pool in California by now...instead of freezing my arse off in manky Manchester. Regrets...I've had a few.

I'm dying to see it. I adore Holly Hunter. I adore her too. She was spectacular in "Things You Can Tell Just by Looking at Her". I felt my heart crack at the end of her story.

Marry a rich yank...I could be swimming in a pool in California by now...instead of freezing my arse off in manky Manchester. Regrets...I've had a few. I wish that my damn school would stop trying to force me out! I should be held back a year! That way I can take more classes and decide what I want to do with my life... but no... school isn't considered a place where the student is the focus... grades, scores, extracuriculars.... how much your parents make, where you live, who you are... the school system is going to go down if they decide to fuck with me.... I have more poser than they think... not me as me, but me as the grandchild of some wealthy intelligent powerful people... they will pay with their jobs if they are going to cast me off into the wind! How dare they decide that I'm just a lost cause! My visits to the psychologist have been of use to make me feel and become more preductive, yet they want to force me out just as I have gotten through a though obstecle... some help they are! They like to pretend they care, they think they are the best school in anne arundel county... pft! My grandparents , a cousin on my mom's side, my mother, my mom's boyfriend, my friends, some of my friends' family members, my psychologist, some of my teachers I have now, some teachers from my past.... they will probably all back me up! Haha... the school will pay! But if I want to play by their rules... I'll just fail my english class... then by their laws, they cannot let me pass... no matter what I've got a plan... this isn't only about their screwed up rules, it's about the fact that I feel that I need to stick around one more year to become fully capable of becoming somone who can rely on their own talents to make a future for themself... and they are going to try and deny me of my right as a student to learning... plus they jerked me around enough... they told me that I was behind a year than they try and pull this shit, where they put me back in the 12th grade year... SHIT HEADS!!! they are ruining my plans! I'm sick of people stomping on my plans and it's time to start destroying the obstcles.... SMASHY SMASHY!!!

Thirteen is my favorite movie.
It affected me very deeply.
Shirley loved it too, apparently.
I can see how she could relate to a lot of it.

Loved it! Darkly disturbing... but reminded me, in certain aspects, of my own troubled youth. Very well written and very well acted. Holly Hunter should have won the Oscar. Ahhh... who really gives a shit about the Oscar's anyway?!

That movie was so disturbing, especially since it was apparently based on the writer's friends from middle school. I'm only nineteen, and nobody did stuff like that when I was thirteen. Crazy. I thought the acting in it was really great, especially the main characters. And there was a Liz Phair song at the very end, so I had to like it. I live in the states and I didn't get to see it until I came to college. We have a two-dollar movie show every week, and they showed Thirteen a few months back. I think it was kind of an art-house thing here, as well. Also, it was so offensive that a lot of theatres refused to show it.
