The tragicomic trials and tribulations of an awkward middle child named Dawn Wiener as she navigates her way through the hell of middle school, her first crush, and her bizarre family. Winner of the Grand Jury Prize at Sundance.
This hysterically funny and relentless indie satire follows a dorky teenage misanthrope, perfectly played by Heather Matarazzo. Her sardonic perspective on life makes Welcome to the Dollhouse an endlessly quotable cult classic and launched Todd Solonz’s career with the Grand Jury Prize at Sundance.
