Thirteen
Just came back from watching Thirteen, the sort-of indie flick directed by Catherine Hardwicke and written partly by Nikki Reed, who also plays a major role in the movie. I was impressed by the reviews and so decided to watch it this evening.
Thirteen has always been an age when establishing one's identity becomes paramount, and "Thirteen" tries to answer the question: What does it mean to be a 13-year-old girl right now, right here, in today's society?
It was well worth it, even though it is was absolutely brutal at times. An astonishingly good performance by Holly Hunter and an equally good one by Evan Rachel Wood makes for the icing on the cake. Definitely worth a watch.
