Welcome To The Dollhouse DVD

Dorky Dawn Weiner, New Jersey seventh-grader, couldn't get a break if you sent it FedEx. 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 "faggot"; 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 a painfully funny and sharply observed breakthrough film from the acclaimed director Todd Solondz..
