Fails to outmatch its infinitely better predecessor KIDS with its terrible screenplay and its even worse cinematography.

This is one of my favorite movies EVER... and that is quite a compliment. It really gives a great look into what life is like for 13 year olds growing up in the world today. Not much else needs to be said... the other reviews say it all. I highly recommend this movie.

I feel a need for a disclaimer here. This is a positive review, I thought Thirteen was a very good film. Okay disclaimer covered.
Imagine two hours of sitting in a pit of eels after drinking eighteen cups of coffee. That's about as uncomfortable as the two hours I spent watching Thirteen. It is a testament to the film that the material rings so true as to elicit such feelings. The phrase teenage angst has never been so woefully insufficient as in this instance. The story of Tracy and her family is so visceral and genuine that one is instantly transformed back to early post puberty and the horribly uncomfortable issues that were part and parcel of the experience. We follow Tracy as she seeks popularity through her relationship with the most popular girl in class, Evie. In this post-modern LA junior high school, popularity is as perilous as typhoid, with overt sexual availability and attenuated childhood creating beings of mature facade but illusory foundation. Inevitably Tracy and her post-modern family ferociously spiral into a decent tempered only by it's brevity. As an adult I look at the film now as both man and child and am horrified from both views. The issues of needing to belong and wanting admiration are represented as truly as film has ever managed. The issues of reckless sexuality and self destruction allow me even as one without children to know the deep fear of having your child self immolate. There are very few good feelings within this movie but oddly you do feel better for going through it. I guess that is really the ultimate and fitting compliment for the filmmakers that they have managed to take the audience through the emotions that are the beginning of the teenage years. Few films I know have had this much emotional impact. I'm not sure I'm ready for many more.
