Dorky Dawn Wiener, New Jersey
seventh-grader, couldn't get a break if
you sent it 'Fed Ex'. Sometimes hated,
often reviled, seldom understood, Dawn
tries in vain to put on a happy face as
she struggles through what looks to be
a long puberty. Her geeky brother is a
computer nerd, her pampered little sister
is a ballerina wannabe, her only friend a
runty neighbour the other kids call 'fag-
got'; and she's got a paralysing crush on
the high school heart-throb who sings in
a stunningly awful rock band, 'The Quadratics'. |

But Dawn does find moments of grace amidst her daily tribulations and soon begins to wonder if life might not be better outside New Jersey...
Winner of the Grand Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival, WELCOME TO THE DOLLHOUSE is the painfully funny and sharply observed breakthrough film from the acclaimed director Todd Solondz.
