    I was an extra in this movie but I had no idea what it was about at the time. I'll admit it was a well made movie but not something I'd recommend watching unless your into this sort of over intense drama stuff. It was scary in a non-horror way.
  • Perfect Movie

    This movie is amazing! It is so REAL. It puts you in the movie to where anyone can relate to all of the things we went through during our adolescent years. For parents, it's an eye opener. For kids, it's refreshingly honest. For everyone else, it's a movie with a plot so racy it'll have you sharing it with all of your friends - I did! Definitely one of my top movies... one that I can watch multiple times and not get tired of.

    By other reviews I thought this movie would be amazing. Turns out to have over-the-top and unrealistic situations. This is nothing more than a movie you'd watch once and overlook in the future. The cover looks good though :-)
  • Dramatic, but a disgusting ending.

    A film about 12-year olds- but certainly NOT appropriate for children to watch. The ending is disgusting. I have no way to explain this to my child so this film goes to the trash.
  • Excellent Film

    This movie hits every angle of teenage and parenting life. From joyous to distressing and occasionally heartbreaking. The movie covers a wide spectrum of human reactions to distress during one of the most influential times of our lives. This is the point in life at which we feel directionless and make emotional decisions. 12 and Holding portrays that while keeping the viewer wondering fully engaged. And it will surprise you until the end. I have watched it over 5 times and love it every time. Very fitting soundtrack also.
