Thirteen

The insistently shocking Thirteen, about a junior-high kid’s (Evan Rachel Wood) self-destructive bout with adolescence, argues that today’s culture of flirtatious
consumerism has made trashy 20-somethings out of our preteens. But what begins as an observant piece of social commentary soon becomes a hysterical exploitation flick, in which every sweet little girl you know is doomed to be defiled.
