Welcome to the Dollhouse

1996 · TMDB 7.1

Directed by Todd Solondz

An unattractive 7th grader struggles to cope with suburban life as the middle child with inattentive parents and bullies at school.

Why it matters

Todd Solondz's acid comedy centres on Dawn Wiener, a middle-school outcast whose desperate attempts to fit in are met with cruelty and indifference. The film's unglamorous suburban setting and brutally honest performances capture the social warfare of adolescence.
