Here's what people are saying about:

**Fourth best film of 2003**
-ENTERTAINMENT INSIDERS

"a charming, touching, clever and all-around brilliantly crafted film"
-FILM THREAT

"original and unforgettable"
-ENTERTAINMENT INSIDERS

"Fascinating to absorb and compelling to contemplate"
-EFILMCRITIC

“Thirteen…while clearly presenting a moral to its story, is more a straight documentation of the challenges that cause children to grow up before their time. Purgatory House, on the other hand, aspires to make bigger philosophical statements about the nature of teen despair…”  
                                                                                                                                                                                                                               -CINEMASPEAK
"This was an amazing movie, like nothing I’ve ever seen done before…
It could have a profound effect on teenagers.”
-Martha Frankel, Celebrity Journalist

“Powerful…brilliant. It just blew me away!”
-Alvin Sargent,2-time Academy Award Winning screenwriter

“Phenomenal, spectacular! This film has to be seen!”
-Laura Ziskin, producer (SPIDERMAN, AS GOOD AS ITGETS, PRETTY WOMAN)
