Critic Reviews

Lisa Alspector

With the devout collaboration of the cast, Williams blurs the boundary between experience and storytelling as if the distinction were not only irrelevant but presumptuous. Read full review

J. Hoberman

The movie is as eloquently uninflected and filled with quirks as its star. Read full review

Roger Ebert

One of the truest films I've seen about the ebb and flow of a real relationship. Read full review

Stephen Holden

For all its narrative glitches and its homemade quality, Thirteen evokes the rhythm, texture and tone of Nina's world in a way that a more carefully scripted film never could. Read full review

John Petrakis

The acting is amateurish at times, but always convincing. Read full review

Hannah Brown

Watching Thirteen is like spending an hour and a half with a poker-faced teen who's obviously unhappy but refuses to talk about what's wrong. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Maitland McDonagh

This quietly gripping film is both universal and particular. Read full review
