| | Girls Gone Wild - Thirteen is a cautionary tale about a good girl who turns bad. By David Edelstein (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21) |
 | | After that walloping start, Thirteen, which is set in Los Angeles, jumps back in time to introduce Tracy, four months earlier, when she was still a good girl: when she listened to her mom and didn't pierce herself, use drugs, steal, or have sex with boys. |
 | | Thirteen is a cautionary bad-girl picture, a genre that's been kicking around since before movies could talk: It's the stuff of laughable '50s juvenile delinquent films, '70s TV movies with Linda Blair, and Afterschool Specials. |
 | | Thirteen is too early for kids to be at the mercy of rapacious market forces. |
