Notes: This film by Catherine Hardwicke, which was nominated for an Oscar, depicts the life and times of a thirteen-year-old girl "as she discovers drugs, sex, and petty crime in the company of her cool but troubled best friend" [IMDb.com]. Stars Nikki Reed as "troubled best friend", Evan Rachel Wood as "the naïf", and Holly Hunter as her mom.

An eclectic group of performers here, including personal favorite Imperial Teen. "Ivanka" also opens their fourth album, On (Merge Records). Their newest release, the hair the tv the baby & the band, is excellent but seasick, their 1996 debut, sits on my all-time best list for its fierce declarations of love, youth, and Kurt Cobain.
