There’s a tornado coming to the fictional small American town of Minninnewah. However, in lazy allegory fashion, 13 Minutes (courtesy of director Lindsay Gossling, scripting a story from herself and Travis Farncombe), the real storm is all the truths and drama bubbling to the surface for these residents. 13 Minutes attempts to provide social commentary on everything from abortion, homophobia, mother-daughter relationships, racism within interracial communities, and immigration to no satisfactory avail. The results are actually quite dismal; a frontloaded plot introducing characters for roughly 30 minutes and an emotionally lifeless 40-minute aftermath of the impending disaster.
