The intensity built up under my skin without me knowing it because of Dawn's funny quirks but by the chocolate cake dessert scene I started bawling. I usually don't like movies with young leads but Heather Matarazzo nailed it.

This film shook me when I accidentally turned it on at the ripe age of 8

this was the rawest portrayal (and most accurate, sadly) of middle school. I love love love Heather Matarazzo here. everyone should see this for it's honesty and humor

A huge part of me wishes she would have ran away with Brandon.

Mucho se habla de como John Hughes retrató de manera auténtica la angustia adolescente pero poco se habla de esta película de Solondz, un debut genial que igualmente retrata dicha angustia con un poco más de mala leche, es que Solondz no lo piensa dos veces para meter el dedo en la llaga. Nada (ni nadie) se salva de pasar por la lupa de Solondz: ni los acosadores en el colegio, ni los vecinos pedófilos. Genial.

Some of the relationships were a bit sketchy, such as the cake scene, but overall this is another great film by Solondz.

The ultimate "awkward teen" movie! Which is quite the expansive genre, if you begin to think about it! Everytime I watch this i'm not sure whether to laugh hysterically or be incredibly disturbed... which seems to be the case for all of Solondz's work.

Honest,True&original..Probably the closest there is to what happens in junior high.

Amazing movie, though I wanted her to get her revenge. But yeah. I know how she feels.

the beginning of something special. Todd Solandz' work is challening and dynamic and brutally honest and I can't wait to see his next film...

This movie is a true masterpiece even if I find that the end is missing something.

Solondz does a brilliant job at capturing how truly shitty middle school is. It's not hard to relate to at least one aspect of Dawn's bummer of a situation. Matarazzo was fantastic playing the aptly named Dawn Wiener, as were all the other actors. Definitely one of the best movies I've seen about having issues with school and stupid teenagers.

Poor Dawn, her life really does suck!! I most definitely felt for her through the movie. It reminded me my horrible days in middle school... So glad not to be in school anymore! This is probably one of my favorite movies of all times and maybe the only movie by Solondz that I would consider brilliant!
