Welcome to the Dollhouse

Todd Solondz's brutally funny look at the trials and tribulations of Dawn Wiener, an 11-year old geeky girl caught in a hellish 7th grade existence in suburban New Jersey. There's genuine pain and humiliation. "Welcome to the Dollhouse" also has great hilarity. But most importantly, there's a deep understanding of and empathy for the notion of outsiderness and the inner strength required to survive it.
