Welcome to The Dollhouse (1996)
Welcome to The Dollhouse (1996) 6/10
Sometimes, growing up just plain sucks. Just ask Dawn Wiener (Heather Matarazzo), bona fide social outcast with a dysfunctional family to add. It could have turned into a dark exploration of the ugliness of growing up like Water Lilies, but Welcome to the Dollhouse opts for dark comedy, infusing the main character with exaggerated tragi-comic qualities. The sort of film that would likely be a cult favourite, Dollhouse does however fall prey to a fairly predictable storyline progression. Thankfully, the charm, or rather the lack of charm of its endearing protaganist makes this almost the ancestor to modern “growing up” films like Juno.
