This film was full of very heavy grain. So much so at times, that I think that may have been the desired effect.

It was. "Thirteen" was shot on 16mm film, and then it was edited and color timed through the DI process (digital intermediate), and outputted from that to 35mm film for release prints. It was very grainy (intentionally so) when I saw it in theaters, and I would imagine that the DVD transfer was done either from the final DI file or a 35mm print - either way, from sources that had the desired grain level.
