Not all girls want to play with dolls.
Todd Solendz became the most talked-about new director in recent years with this acclaimed comedy about the suburban condition.
Winner of the Grand Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival 1996, Welcome To The Dollhouse follows 11-year old Dawn "Wienerdog" Weiner (Heather Matarazzo), a junior high geek who just wants to be popular. Teased by her classmates, tormented by the school bully, Dawn develops an improbable plan to seduce the star of a high-school garage band.
Bitterly funny and true to life, Welcome To The Dollhouse has become something of a cult film - particularly with teenage girls - through its merciless depiction of teenage life in America.
