Thirteen

Corrected entry: When Evie is eating pizza outside with Tracy, after their visit to Red Balls, Evie sees Tracy's other friend. She says "You're little friend is coming over". Tracy turns around and says "What", but if you look closely, her lips don't move at all.

Correction: She doesn't say "what", she says "shit", and lips do not have to move at all when that word is spoken.

Corrected entry: In the scene before Evie, Tracy, and Mel go to see Brooke, after Tracy says something like "I can't even remember how to spell photographer", Melanie looks in the mirror and sees Evie on Tracy's right (which would be Tracy's left when not seen in the reflection). But then when the shot moves away from the mirror, Evie's on Tracy's right.

Correction: Think about how Tracy and Evie are sitting in the rearview mirror: Tracy is sitting on the left side of the vehicle behind Melanie, while Evie is to her right. If the camera were to back up, Tracy and Evie would be shown in the exact same way they are shown in the next shot.

Corrected entry: After Tracy steals the wallet from the lady, she goes to a shoe shop with Astrid and Evie. When she puts money down you can see a orange marker, to show her where to put the money down.

Correction: Perhaps you're referring to the dollar bill in the middle of the stack with the large orange stain on the corner.

Corrected entry: When Tracy is cutting her arm, you can see the line she "traces" with the blade before she cuts. (00:38:05)

Ral0618

Correction: This just shows that it is not the first time she has cut herself.

Corrected entry: Throughout the movie if you pay attention you can see that the camera is getting more and more out of focus (the best scene to see this is when Tracy goes to the bathroom in school and just looks in the mirror to "see what she has become"). This is suppose to be symbolic because the worse that Tracy gets the more out of focus the camera is, making lots of scenes a little blurry.

Correction: Not really trivia. Directors use many techniques to express emotions or moods. For example using dark lighting to express moods, jerky movement to show the character might be under drug or alcholic influence etc.

Lummie

Corrected entry: When Tracey and Melanie are buying clothes from the van, many of the people walking past slow down or stop and look at the camera. (00:09:20)

jle

Correction: Maybe they are just watching them buy stuff because it actually isn't that normal to have a van in the middle of the street selling clothes, is it?

Corrected entry: After Tracy cuts her arm with scissors, she goes back to bed. Notice she is wearing a blue long sleeved shirt while she sleeps. In the next scene when Tracy wakes up and Evie is beside her, Tracy is wearing a green long sleeved shirt.

tonim

Correction: The shirt is the same but the light makes it appear a different color.

Corrected entry: In the scene when Tracy and Evie are getting high, the cut on Tracy's lip is on the right side of her face, but it changes back and forth form the left to the right side for the rest of the movie.

Correction: The cut only ever appears on her left side, except for shots of Tracey looking at herself in the mirror - only time you get a reversed view.

Ral0618

Corrected entry: In the scene right after Javi asks Tracy for her number, Tracy says she doesn't want him to go to her house. Evie then says, "My aunt says only one friend at a time", she makes the point that Brooke is her cousin (as opposed to her aunt) many times in the movie.

Correction: In the begging Evie tells Tracy that Brooke is her aunt too, she then later tells her that Brooke is her cousin, but she just refers to her as her aunt.

Continuity mistake: When Evie and Tracy go to the park, they walk down a stretch of grass, after Evie makes a drug sale. She stops two guys to make another sale. As she stops them, there is a boy with a helmet and skateboard running behind them. The shot then cuts to a close-up and suddenly the boy is standing next to the two guys. Then the shot cuts again, and the boy is running behind them again. (00:20:35)

Trivia: Mentioned on Commentary - the poster at the bus stop "Beauty is Truth" is a picture of Nikki Reed's (Evie) eyes on another woman's face. The picture is supposedly symbolic because each time we see the poster it is more graffitied/ruined, symbolising how Evie is making Tracy more out-of-control and dirty (e.g. introducing her to drugs and sex.).
