Our take

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.
