I just watched Thirteen. It has been staring at me on the blockbuster shelve for the last couple years, and I have always been to embarrassed to rent it because it had a couple of teenage girls on the cover, but I figured if I ever wanted to make real films I better just watch it.

From a visual stand point the camera work and visuals are overwhelming and pretty effective in helping to tell the story. The story and movement of the characters through the film are kinda herky-jerky and never really "get there"... it was a good movie but left me hanging.

I would recommend watching it, but don’t feel that you will come out satisfied
