Welcome to the Dollhouse

No upcoming showtimes scheduled.
Director: Todd Solondz
1995 / 88min / 35mm

Solondz mined adolescent misery for coal-black comedy in his mordantly funny out-of-nowhere indie sensation, starring Heather Matarazzo as New Jersey 7th Grader Dawn “Weiner-Dog” Weiner, a painfully awkward kid whose daily routine involves running a gauntlet of humiliation that includes parental disdain, indifference from impossible alt-rocker crushes, and rape threats from bully Brendan Sexton III. Unflinchingly grim and quietly compassionate, Solondz’s film will make you laugh until you choke with recognition.
