Welcome to the Dollhouse

American indie weirdo Todd Solondz (Happiness) doesn’t pull any punches in depicting the true horror and excruciating pains of being a teenage girl in suburban America. Shot through with pitch-black comedy, Welcome to the Dollhouse introduced to the world Heather Matarazzo as Dawn “Weiner Dog” Weiner. Desperately unpopular and relentlessly bullied by everyone at her school, overlooked by her parents who prefer her other siblings; coming of age never looked this bad.

Screening as part of our Teen Dreams season.
