Thirteen is a 2003 American semi-autobiographical drama film, directed by Catherine Hardwicke, and written by Hardwicke and Nikki Reed, based on events from Reed's life at age 12 and 13. It stars Evan Rachel Wood, with Wood's character "Tracy" being loosely based upon Reed. Nikki Reed herself co-stars in the role of Evie Zamora. The script was written in six days.
The film caused controversy upon its release, because it dealt with topics like drugs such as inhalants, marijuana, and alcohol, underage sexual behavior, and self-harm. The film earned Holly Hunter an Academy Award nomination for Best Actress in a Supporting Role and Golden Globe nominations for Hunter and Evan Rachel Wood for Best Supporting Actress and Best Actress in a Drama, respectively.
Thirteen-year-old Tracy Freeland begins her school year as a smart and sweet honor student at a middle school in Los Angeles. Her divorced mother Melanie is a recovering alcoholic, who struggles to support Tracy and her older brother Mason as a hairdresser. Tracy feels ignored by her mother, who is too busy with her fellow ex-addict boyfriend Brady to address Tracy's increasing depression. After being teased for her "Cabbage Patch" clothes, Tracy decides to shed her 'little girl' image and gets her mother to purchase trendier clothes.
