	Media	Author	Review
		Elvis Mitchell The New York Times	"Wood's performance bounces with mood swings from anxiety to exhilaration in a movie with moments so realistically painted that your eyes will sting from the fumes"
		Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"Brace yourself for 'Thirteen' — it’ll cause a commotion (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"
		Michael Wilmington Chicago Tribune	"It's an excellent, unforgettable film, one of the prize American indies of the year, but it's also deeply disturbing"
		Todd McCarthy Variety	"On a scene-by-scene basis, pic packs a punch (...) Wood and Reed are asked to carry the picture and do so quite credibly"
		Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"The movie is smoothly professional, especially in the way it choreographs the comings and goings in Holly Hunter's chaotic household (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)"
		Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"This is exciting, hyperactive film-making with tremendous performances, especially from Holly Hunter (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
