A nuanced portrait of a new generation, Dear Thirteen is a cinematic time capsule of coming of age in today’s world. Through the eyes of nine thirteen-year-olds, we see how pressing social, geographical and political challenges are shaping, and being shaped by, young people: rising anti-Semitism in Europe, guns in America, gender identity and racial divisions across Australia and Asia. With no adult commentary outside the filmmaker, Dear Thirteen offers an intimate view into the universal uncertainty inherent in growing up.

What a waste of my time!!!
After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.
There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
