Chicago Reader 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 >Village Voice J. Hoberman
The movie is as eloquently uninflected and filled with quirks as its star.
Read Full Review >Chicago Sun-Times Roger Ebert
One of the truest films I've seen about the ebb and flow of a real relationship.
Read Full Review >The New York Times 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 >Chicago Tribune John Petrakis
The acting is amateurish at times, but always convincing.
Read Full Review >New York Post 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 Maitland McDonagh
This quietly gripping film is both universal and particular.
