Not another stupid over the top Hollywood tornado movie. It’s focused on the characters and how real people in a small towns lives get turned upside down with a disaster. I liked the references to what to do and what not to do related to sever weather. It was a little slow at times and too much time was spent on the social issues part in my opinion. Still worth a watch but I’d wait for the stream.

Didn't like the ending. Seem to go backwards in the story. Loved the special effects and story lines.

Intense. Explored several contemporary social issues along with a suspenseful plot. Reminds us that despite all our technology and innovations, Mother Nature still reigns supreme.

This was a solid movie on the family dynamics and the setup to get people acquainted with each of the families in the town that is hit by a massive tornado. It wasn't as good as something like Twister where a major disaster film is concerned on the aspect of the characters being invested in storm chasing but rather about how families and communities assaulted by mother nature's fury can work together to overcome it and what it looks like when a community is wiped to the ground by a destructive and unstoppable force.

Insofar as its saccharine, Lifetime-movie-esque depiction of the bigness of small-town lives, 13 Minutes works. But as a disaster movie, it fails.

Hollywood Reporter

This effort will satisfy neither those looking for sensitive, character-driven drama nor disaster movie fans, the latter of whom will be disappointed by the relative lack of cinematic mayhem.

Rex Reed

Observer

Written and directed with an overload of talent by Lindsay Gossling, it rarely falters and leaves a viewer grateful for a whirlwind of character-driven suspense and humanity instead of the usual Hollywood cliches.

Rated: 3/4

Uncomplicated and undemanding, 13 Minutes is a fine way to while away an afternoon.

Rated: 3/5

What's odd about the film's finale is the lack of interest that it has in the themes of redemption or renewal.

Rated: 2/5

If Gossling was trying to say something about diversity in the mid-west as I suspect she was, the cringey dialogue needed to be far less on the nose and her characters not as frustratingly silly.
