  • Most fucked up film I've ever seen. Possibly even the worst....

  • @puppymolly123 you're dumb

  • @AaronVernonFOP So just because I have an opinion that's different from yours I'm dumb? Not everyone is going to like the same movie. If you watched it and liked it then that's fine, but I didn't.

  • Jeremy Renner <2

  • shot out to ZOE PVPA FOREVER

  • Bruce Wayne, your father lives!

  • whats the name of the song on 1.20 min

  • @Aaron51328 burning for you by Blue Oyster Cult, it´s also the song that Jeremy Renner hears in his dreams in the movie and the song Malee sings for him :)

  • @aogber2

    Thank you:)

  • I saw this last night. That kid deserved to get his revenge on that bully. The bully (I forget his name), I can tell he didn't really change how he felt about killing that boy. You could tell it in his voice that he still didn't fell sorry.

  • I liked this film a lot. I never even heard of it until I saw it on Netflix. Well worth the watch! It exposed me to Cuesta's other film, L.I.E., which is also great, but I honestly prefer 12 and Holding. :-D

  • i saw this movie when i was 12 and i freakin loved it.. i'm hoping to see it again so i can understand it better

  • This movie was truth watching....

  • I really liked this film. My friend just grabbed it off a shelf randomly and said we should watch it because we didn't know anything about it and I was really pleasantly surprised.

  • I love the kid (Michael Fuchs) the one that gets shot at the end?

    anybody know any movies he plays in?

  • @babygurlfresh99 the only other thing he was in was "Stuart Little 2", but only for about 5 seconds or so...

  • this movie is on tv like right now! =p pretty of far gone though.

  • loved the ending, even symbolism with him holding the ball and the mother figuring out something wrong suddenly after he kills

  • i have anosmia... :(

  • I got Conor Donovan's, (the one who played the twins), autograph yesterday!!! That was really nice of him!!!

    

  • They should to make a sequal to this called "17 and Holding" to show how all of the characters have changed....but only if they use the same actors, (Conor Donovan, Zoe Weizenbaum, Jesse Camacho), and have Michael Cuesta direct it!!!

  • I loved this movie. I had never heard of it before. I only rented it because I like Jeremy Renner and I looked up his filmography. This movie is definitely worth renting. I don't want to give anything away but the ending is awesome.

  • so ok, he got away with it at the end? I mean the movie ends with him sitting on his front porch... wtf man... he buried that dood like a mafia hit man!

  • best movie i ever sall in my life

  • I love this movie expectacular, i highly recomended ir to everyone also Jeremy Renner is here so that's a big plus.

  • this was pretty heavy

  • Best movie and about 12 yr olds and how you change as you grow up

  • I love this movie

  • Back when Jeremy Renner was underrated!!!! Thank god for the Hurt Locker!!!

  • he kills the kid at the end?

  • @Aleksei5055 dont wanna spoil here, just watch the film.

  • @cc11Productions same with me

  • wow, i hate typing on my phone..look at all those spelling erreors lol

  • lol shut up joseph. apecial effect mobies pwn touching ones ;D

  • @pablin007 bull crap

  • I love this movie, very touching...almost made me cry

  • Some of the best acting I've ever seen. The film had a few cliche's, but it all worked at the same time. The film was an independent movie so you have to think that the writers had to work more on a plot that would tocuh your heart, instead of making an epic movie. In a sense though it was epic. The actors had to actually act, and they all did a great job. There was some great directing and editing, and I wish more movies could be like this one.

  • This is a great american film!!

    Kudos!

  • Strange movie... Good actors but some of the characters and actions are (too) implausible. Example: Malee is 12 an so intelligent. But she didn't know (or care?) that it would have caused BIG troubles to Gus if she'd been able to seduce him? Instead of throwing the gun away wherever she hands it to Jacob of all boys for storage?! Oh oh oh... Think about the weak points before rating the film as "very good" or "brilliant". ;-)

  • @Sterndi1 those are not weak points. Any child can be very intelligent and also make massive poor judgements. Plus there's always room for artistic license too.

  • Good movie, saw it yesterday at arte (french & german tc-station for culture & culturally movies,m shows & documentarys) Totaly great movie!

  • @Marvinpoo Yeah me too (: I was so glad they showed it in English. A very touching movie!

  • very nice movie

  • ughh amazing movie.<3

    I love Jeremy Rennerrr!.:):)

    I'd have a crush on him toooo if i was Maleeeee ;D

  • is this suppost to be scary like is dat kid become a killer or somten we need more showings

  • The comments are encouraging but the trailer is not..

  • I agree, crap trailer for a brilliant film.

  • I bought this movie and just watched it.

    its a really good film I recommend it!!

  • great film!

  • poor twins :(

  • I think you can watch it online for free h online @ MOOV ZON ,COM just google for the link above

  • Terrible trailer for such and amazing movie.

  • @SabrinaKristina1 I actually like part of the trailer....well maybe it's because i liked the song that went with it. The beginning of the trailer could be better i guess.

  • A Great And Powerful Film About American Adolecence In 21st Century!!

  • That´s true that a big percentage of peoples problems are because of their inability to get over the past. I think a lot about the past and some things that I regret that I didn´t do and other things that I regret but I should stop thinking about the past cause I can´t go back in time.

  • I love, love, love this film. It was absolutely incredible!

    I wish it had more publicity though. It seems like no one has seem it :(

  • I liked it too. Mean creek is also a great but later sad movie.

  • i have seen this movie before its the most awsomeist movie i have ever seen

  • The trailer does spoil everything.....might as well say this is a GREAT movie but a really messed up plotline...

  • Just watched this for the 1st time on IFC and I couldn't turn away. Great movie and great acting from such young actors. Really messed up story but it's so worth watching. Just a really good movie.

  • haha i watched it same time u did it is so messed up but it is a good movie

  • does you know the end credits music? does anyone know? lolol

  • the song is by R.E.M. and called "Why Not Smile."

  • @RCJGee

    umm...this isn't R.E.M......the song thats playing is burning for you by the blue oyster cult.

    common mistake

  • @AngeloDeath1996

    ummm...I was replying to Fader33 who asked what song was playing during the closing credits.

    ummm...I sort of know the difference between R.E.M. and a late 70s/early 80s group (B.O.C.).

  • This is a fantastic film, but the trailer really isn't all that good. I think they could have made the movie look a lot better- or at least changed up the end sequence. Make it look much to cliche. And gives away the ending.

  • this movie was sensational!!!! :) amazing film!!!!!

  • Good movie....

  • I enjoyed it =)

  • I'm glad i didn't watch the trailer before the movie, it spoils EVERYTING! almost.

  • this film was amazing but it was so sad and heart breaking :*(

  • i loved this movie

  • dat movie is so frikin good

  • My religion teacher in high school's son wrote the script for this. Such a strange film, but full of hidden meanings and lessons.

  • seems like a good movie, i'll give it a shot

  • ok....so Connor Donovan DID NOT win or even get nominated for any kind of award for this movie?.......WOW  this kid is a teriffic young actor!!!!! hope to see him in more movies

  • why di the girl with glasses had no clothes on?

  • Why don't you watch the movie and find out? =]

  • she had no clothes because she wants to have s** with the guy.

  • have s with him wts that?

  • SEX!!!!!!!!!!

  • :o thats nuaghty on;y grown ups r only aloud

  • burning for you is the song

  • i like this movie

    it is a great movie

  • I wish there were a soundtrack for this movie. What's the song that plays during the scene at 1:29 in the actual film?

  • hey this is the movie where we did dialogue reading in class of ELA

  • that was such a GOOOOD MOVIEEE!

    haha, I loved it (:

  • it made me cry

  • I have it. LIE is cool too.

  • "Do you have any idea who your kids are?" That was funny.

  • This movie is almost scary

  • this was a good movie

  • I've never seen a movie go this deep into what Adolescence can be, it was intense and I found Myself cringing but it was Reality and I almost couldn't handle it.

    They almost took it too far, but then I thought: They've only scratched the surface of what could be.

    This movies amazing.

  • when the asian chick takes off her clothes i started laughing so hard i had an asthma attack

  • one of the best movies ever

  • i seen this movie it is sad to me

  • does anyone know the name of the song in this trailer? abstinence

  • the song to twelve and holding is called i'm burning for you the bis called blue oyster cult

  • thanks :) you're cute

  • I saw this movie last night, it's quite possibly the saddest movie I've ever seen.

  • This movie was intense, this movie was great.

  • That looks like an extremely intense movie. I saw part of it on T.V. and am now determined to see the whole thing.

  • Oh yeah, it is intense. It doesn't need outlandish special effects. The movie rides on intense story telling and riveting performances.

  • THAT IS AN AWESOME MOVIE

  • This is a great movie. I Loved it :)

  • i love this movie

  • That movie is excelent!!

    Teach very much about be good parents

    The actors are real great to be childrens

  • i watched this with my gramma nd mom

    this was a good movie

  • i just watched this movie a couple hours ago

    and it was so good.

    i think i might buy it

  • i watched this movie and i was dieing laughing when the fat kid locked his mother in the basement n he put a peiceof fruit down there because she was fat. lmao...but other than that this was a very touching movie.

  • @BabyBlu001 that fat kid is my cousin...

  • @warrenator11 WWHHAAAAAAAT?! not even!!! :D

  • This is a very good movie. You'd think it was about how the kids cope with death but there are so many plot twists and spins and turns that you are never bored---SEE THIS MOVIE ! ! !

  • the guy with the twin go to my school now he in 10 gradw

  • You mean Conor? He's only in 10th Grade? I thought he'd be in 11th by now. Weird, guess that must mean we're about the same age, lol. Luckily my life wasn't that dramatic when I was that age.

  • Best Movie Ever, I found out about this because the kid who plays Keith(Joseph) were both in Doubt which is coming outin December. Really great within script,characters,acting,base of movie everything! Great Job

  • He and I that is.

  • Man I really like this film it's those FEW movies that have you on the edge of your seat and make you feel mad because of something the actor said well for me I felt like that

    AWESOME film!!!

  • this was a fantastic movie im not joking the trailer looks SHIT but the movie was so good!! trust me!!!

  • you look retarded im sorry

  • you should watch it, it's wonderful and sort of uplifting, I think?

  • i am conor donovans biggest fann he is so hot and AMAZING at acting! LOVE YOU CONOR!<333

  • My aunt is in this movie! She is the lady that says "You're Lucky you weren't killed." her name is Marcia DeBonis.

  • that's cool. she was rly good in this movie

  • @bluetoxity I thought she did an excellent job, one of my favorite characters in the film :)

  • i watched the movie but i heard that its praticty freddy and jason cuz freddy the burnt one which was the brother and jason wit the hockey mask which is the other brother.

  • i like the part when the asian girl said "youre a bitch" its so funny... you have to watch this movie you guys

  • me too

  • I don't got Starz. I'll have to buy it.

  • it is on Starz on demand

  • same director of L.I.E?

    HOLY SHIT!

  • i LOVE this movie and i sgree put the whole movie on youtube

    CONNOR DONOVAN IS HOTTTT

  • Doesn't anyone find it odd that the movie is about a kid dying and one of the reviews says "painfully Funny!"? Now I haven't seen the movie, is it funny?

  • It has some funny moments, but it's a pretty serious movie, kinda freaks you out though. And the movie isn't about the kid's death specifically. It's more like how he dies, and how his circle is affected. The fat kid loses his sense of taste and smell and starts losing weight and goes ballistic on his family so they'll do the same. The Asian chick develops a freaky-ass crush on the shirtless guy (not gonna spoil the rest). And the brother...well...let's just say, he got pretty fucked up.

  • ohhh,it sounds like a good movie.

  • LOVE this movie.

  • i really think they should juss put the whole movie on youtube!

  • Yeah, that would be good. That way, I can know if I like it or not. It sounds awesome and thrilling but I dunno for sure so I want to see it without blowing money. If its good, I'll buy it.

  • Can anyone upload the whole movie onto Youtube. Plz! it would be greatly appreciated

  • This is a good movie. I'm surprised it hasn't won any awards. Amazing jobs by everyone in the film.

  • I hate how the other two kids ended up with a happier ending then the twin. His mother annoyed me in that film he should of killed her.

  • What's the song in this trailer?

  • Watched this on IFC about a week go, terrific.

  • ****SPOILER ALERT**** do not read AZESK's post!!

  • akesk11 thanks for spoiling it for EVERYONE!!

  • oh well i was just sayin i'm sure u will get over it and no one else sed enyfing

  • uh yeah they did.

  • if this movie took place in the 90's why is there a nintendo gamecube?

  • this movie came out in 2005.

  • Nobody has ever claimed that this film took place in the 1990's.

  • My TV did.

  • lol what? What else did your TV do? Did it make you breakfast today?

  • "a group of adolesnt kids explore trouble and adult situations in the mid 1990's"

  • Okayyyyy, that would be a TV channel displaying incorrect info. To say "my TV did" is retarded.

  • awesome movie the dude commited sucide

  • i love it i love it it 1 love it

  • i love this movie i bought at a videostore which was prised 13 dollars and 99 cents but it was 25 percent off when i watched the movie i was stuck to my seat it was so sad and disturbing and funny and dramatic and family all together it was agreat movie i swear i love it a lot it is a great thriller

  • I love this movie soooo much, it made me cry and when the movie was over I wouldn't talk to my family for a while. Thats how much it touched me. Connor donovan is a hottie<3

  • om g after this movie i just stared at the tv thinking about it.. i was like WOW. i loved that movie and it really touched me.

  • very good music in this movie someone knows what more songs than im burning for you ?

  • The credits at the end of the movie lists every song in 12 and Holding. My favorite has to be RECKLESS BURNING by Jesse Sykes. Or you might call it Malee's song. LOL!!

  • 23 seconds into it, lol. I saw this already, great movie.

  • i own this movie on dvd its pretty good if you don't like sad movies i whouldn't reccomend this and the song is burning for you by the blue oyster cult

  • It was a really good movie.

    I have no idea why it was rated R.. its not that bad lol

  • Probably due to the 12yo girl propositioning the dude for sex.

  • can u post the whole movie on line plz and y is this rated r

  • what an excellent movie nah?

    lord what a bang

  • LOVE THIS MOVIE! when i got it i watched it like 5 times every day, one of my all time faves!

  • This looks pretty good. Wonder if Jeremy Renner survives it?

  • Aww this movie is soo sweet. But it made me cry. I was in geography watching it and everyone was staring at me but its soo sad xxxx

  • I just bought the movie off Amazon and LOVED it. Watched it twice in a row it was so good.

  • it was a great movie.

  • the girl, malee, Zoe Weizenbaum, she's my cousin. My name is Jeremy Weizenbaum. I love this movie so much we got an advanced copy

  • y do u have the same last name as ur cousin

  • Congratulations on asking the stupidest question I've ever read in my life! Lets say that there are two brothers in a the "Johnson" family. They each marry and have children. Their children would then have the SAME last name (Johnson) and would be COUSINS. It's not that complicated. Let me know if you ever have questions about what number comes after 10 or vowels and consonants. Also, according to your profile you're 27? Holy crap! Please remove yourself from the gene pool A.S.A.P.!
